ok, i may be able to get a 3 spoke steering wheel is an airbag from a 2000 jetta
no, i have a red momo shift knob with a red momo shift boot
right now i have the red/black issota sterring wheel cover, but the 4 spoke isnt really working for me....
what should i do...
also, i searched and i couldnt find anywhere on how to take off the sterring wheel and the airbag....
if someone could post a step-bt -step on how to do the swap, it would be greatly appreciated...

I haven't used the 4 spoke, but I really like the 3 spoke. I can't imagine anything else. Mine's leather wrapped, I don't know if they all are.

Changing the wheels is pretty simple if you have a socket insert for the 12mm "triple square" nut that holds the wheel to the steering column:
-Disconnect the battery negative terminal
-Wait 15-20 minutes just to be sure everything discharges (just a suggestion I found and followed when doing my swap)
-Turn the wheel to 3 o'clock. There is a hole is the back of wheel to access the clips which lock the airbag in place. Insert a flat blat screwdriver in this hole and pull the handle upwards. You'll hear the clip pop loose.
-Turn the wheel to 9 o'clock and repeat the above.
-The airbag comes right off now, disconnect the airbag connectors and loosen the steering wheel nut.
-Reinstallation is the reverse. Just push the airbag into place and you'll hear it snap into the locking clips.
The Bentley manual recommends that the cabin be empty when the car is first started with the battery reconnected. To do this turn the ignition key to on then get out and reconnect the battery. If nothing explodes you're all set.

Do you want to be playing with your airbag with the battery hooked up?

To disconnect the battery just take the cover off and loosen the nut on the negative terminal so you can pull the connector off.
