the paint coming off the buttons is either due to wear or chemicals left on your skin such as the alchohol in aftershave/perfume or hand creams etc....

TT's had this issue a lot on the door handles etc.....need i say more...?

I checked with the dealer today - you can't switch the S mode on at start-up. Pity.

If the 'S' has rubbed off, then you will need a complete new steering wheel !!! I asked if it was a warranty claim - they said "No"

Hope that helps

There must be a way of hardwiring the loom. Anyone fancy hacking their steering wheel loom?

It can be set to come on at start up but has to be done via a ecu reflash of remap.

I just go through this sequence:

key in and ignition on

press S button

press engine start button

seat belt on

Enjoy!!!

Nice one, how much did that set you back or was it on warranty?

On the warranty. I just had to say that it was broken!
