Steering wheel plus mirror question

Post by stevo55 » Wed May 15, 2024 12:00 pm

Interesting -I did a reverse image search on that picture (and the steering wheel) and nothing came back.
Somehow I doubt a comedian with over 6M followers is going to be scamming car parts for small potatoes in the UK.
Welcome back to social media for me……hence the reason I left it in the first place.

My advice is to be in a bad mood for today but get over it tomorrow.

Yes indeed. Sh1tbag put up many red flags (such as the names for bank accounts such as ‘Adrianto Nugraha and ‘Nasrina Abuu’) that I foolishly chose to ignore. So my SM buying days are now over as soon as they begin. Lesson learned.

What a tosser. I don’t know how some people sleep at night.
What is the likelihood of getting your money back.

I am feeling terrible as I put you on to the steering wheel advert.

Less than zero mate. Will flag it up to banks and Police but it will be just ‘Crim Int’ to the cops with No Further Action (a depressingly common term) and even if they shut down accounts he just pops up under another guise-as Shopinnit has smartly found the tw8t is using a comedian’s photo as his own.
Hopefully down the line karma will kick in and he and his little gang get their just desserts. May his next sh1t be a hedgehog…

And to top it all off I still haven’t got my steering wheel and now am £250 lighter.
Winner.
At least after hours and hours of nothing people on the forum (apart from Steve on here) took notice and banned him. No doubt to pop up in another guise elsewhere.
No more buying stuff on FB/SM for me then.

Steering wheel plus mirror question

Post by stevo55 » Sat Jun 29, 2024 11:35 am

Just to round this thread off I’ve actually had an unexpected proper result-after weeks of randomly searching eBay and FB cautiously I decided to check out that most scam heavy nest Facebook Marketplace. By chance come across a guy selling an almost new steering wheel off his sold RS6 ‘loon (that he never fitted) plus all the bits.
Great comms and even better he was 30 mins drive from where I live.
Went there yesterday and a great guy with a ton of experience and knowledge (his previous car collection was insane).
Almost new wheel, all the fitments plus spare parts for £65.00
Result!
‘Buy The Seller Not The Item’ rang true for this one. Some faith in humanity has been restored.

Nice one. You got there in the end. A bargain at that price.
Hopefully makes up for the earlier scumbag that ripped you off.

It does Steve many thanks mate and considering these things go for around £300 + to get one at that price and it’s pretty much new was amazing.
Sometimes it works out well!

Wondering if it’s a heated one-guess I’ll find out when it’s fitted and turn on the heated seats I suppose unless the wiring reveals something?

Maybe. I’ll have a look at the wiring diagrams. Is there a part number on it?

Nothing on the wheel itself, this is on the spare module and assume it’s the same that’s fitted to the wheel not sure if the wiring tells anyone anything:

And so the plot thickens and drags on!
First the good news: I have my wheel fitted and the airbag warning light that mysteriously came on about 10 days ago is now off. Looks good!
Image
Alas nothing is ever simple…..local garage tell me that there were literally no wires available to plug into the new wheel. Horn works etc but that’s it. The multi function and gear change buttons are purely decorative right now. Image
Anyone got any answers or ideas on this please? Only thing I can think of is if you specced a M/f wheel from the start then they would have added the necessary cabling and electrics through the steering column.
I’m pretty sure (and hoping) this can be sorted? And if so what’s the solution and how painful/expensive are we talking?

I’d be surprised if they had a different harness. Maybe you need to code the steering wheel module to tell it it’s got buttons. What’s your current coding?
