Bit of a fail, but when I fitted an alternative steering wheel 3 years ago, I didn't file a notch. :facepalm:

Anyway, realising this I whipped the wheel off today to do so, but I can't work out what the notch is supposed to fit into, or the 90deg square slots. Am I missing something? :?

Has anyone any pics of what it should look like, or give me a steer (boom, boom)?

yours is exactly the same as mine ;) 4WS and no little bit that needs a grove :lol: my omp boss has no notch and 4ws works fine but could not fit horn as boss kept cutting wires on full lock so just moved horn :lol:

never have seen notch for 4ws ;)

Hmm, thanks that does give me a bit more comfort, I only realised as I was looking at a pic the other day of my old wheel that had a groove, and know I didn't do anything. I've not driven the car so don't know if there will be a problem or not.

So are there different types of 4WS steering sensors?

5th gen has a notch, 4th doesn't?
Isn't that how it goes? :?

Dunno, great if that's the case though.

this upsets me cos I've got the steering angle sensor code flashing up on my 4th gen and i always presumed it was the aftermarket wheel :(

Thanks Newkid, I knew I'd seen that thread but just could not find it.

So I removed my wheel for nothing. :facepalm: :lol:
