RS4 steering wheel

[MarkB]

Am I right in thinking that I need a later Airbag to fit an B5 RS4 steering wheel in my car?

If so where can I purchase one from cheaply?

[Soupie69uk]

I got one of ebay. Cost me about £130.

I now need some sort of bracket which fits inbetween the airbag and the wheel to make the horn springy.

I was watching a wheel on ebay but will give it a miss this time. I take it the airbag plugs straight in??

[KayGee]

TT airbag I believe is the correct one.

TT airbag I believe is the correct one.

TT airbag has that naff dimpled chrome ring thing that seems to be present on everything that is round on the TT. You need an s-line 3-spoke sports wheel airbag from the A4 B6 model range (I believe the same wheel fits the A2, A3 &A6 models too)

[Soupie69uk]

Yeah thats what i got a S-line one.

Need a cable from the airbag to the car though.

Here is a pic of the bit you need to fit to the wheel i just found in the gallery.





Anyone know the part no. of the bit fitted to the wheel?

There doesnt seem to be a separate part number - appears to come as part of the wheel.

The part number attached to this bracket is actually the part no. for the wheel.

[MarkB]

That could be a problem!!!

[Soupie69uk]

Oh sugar that could be a major problem!!!

Have you tried your local Audi dealer? Mine's very helpful and if you get to know the Parts guys, they will often find a way of accommodating unusual requests like this.

[Soupie69uk]

No dont really use the Audi dealer.

I may pop in and try my luck as i have had this wheel for about 8 months and been too lazy to get all the other bits required.

Did you get to the bottom of this Soupie, as i have sourced an RS4 steering wheel and a suitable airbag but am missing the 'bracket'!!

I had the same problem. Bracket comes with the steering wheel and is NOT availible seperatly. I ended up buying a late A4 steering wheel just for the bracket then resold it.
