Does this steering wheel fit my mk7

Postby Steve192 » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:39 pm

Hi guys. Can someone tell me if this steering wheel is a direct replacement for my mk7 Transit van 2012.

It will fit, but the transit airbag won’t.

Also the steering angle sensor will need recalibration.

I have the air bag that came with the wheel too.

Are all the connectors the same? And earthing points etc?

What do you mean by recalibrate the steering angle sensor? Is this a must before you can drive it?

Thanks for your help

Only affects esp really, check if you have esp if not you'll be ok but might need to get it tracked up anyway (might).

I do have eps yes.

Is it the manual adjustment method I’ve seen on thread in here? Or is it an ids job?

Is it only the 4 spoke mk2 focus and 4 spoke c max steering wheels that fit straight on without any faffing about?

Iirc the holes either side of the centre nut on the transit are on an angle, the others are straight which confuses the steering angle sensor.
It is a simple calibration in ids, don't know if forscan can do it?
