2001 D9 semi-mux steering wheel?

[fattail95]

Hi guys,

Need a new steering wheel for my 2001 semi-mux 406. It has the standard plastic wheel, is this the correct one?



The listing says it came off a 2002 car, but it has the 2 screw holes at the back like mine does, so will it fit OK?

Many thanks!

Hi Benjamin.

Is the steering wheel in the picture the new one? It looks a bit tatty inside where the horn connects, but the wheel itself looks nice....

My 2002 has screw holes in the back too, but the airbag is removed by pushing a screwdriver through from underneath - same as my 2004 406. I should imagine the wheel is the same, its only the airbag which is different as far as I know.

Sorry, not much help - maybe go ahead and fit it when you have a spare 30mins and post up how you get on. Don't forget to disconnect the battery ( and don't forget the 3 minute rule ) and swap them over.

You need a T40 or T50 torx bit to get the wheel off, and leave the bolt in a couple of threads so you don't hit yourself in the face trying to pull the wheel off....

I can't see the lugs for the retaining spring on that one, this is from my full-mux:

(From the com2000 change how to)

I think the most obvious difference is the semi-mux has the hole for the airbag connector 'below' the hole for the bolt, whereas fully-mux has the airbag lead hole 'above' the steering wheel bolt hole.

Also, I believe Benjamin s airbag will have a single brown connector.

It is the new one, yes I'm getting it professionally retrimmed in leather by Royal Steering wheels, so the exterior doesnt matter.

Mine is very different to that, having a single brown connector.

I merely posted it for comparison, in an "if it don't look like this then it's probably ok" type styleee.

We want pickchewers! How much is that setting you back? (If you don't mind me arsking)

The place that retrimmed my bike seat does that, I can't remember how much but they had a couple they'd finished there and they were sooopuerb.

No problem! Once its done, I'll put some up Here's an example of a BMW wheel he's done, mine will be similar, with perforations at the sides and nappa smooth leather at the top.

Looks very nice (Apart from the blue and white propeller thing in the middle of course...)
