hi all i bought a second hand steering coloum for my phase3 gti6,off a club memeber off here. it seem to be an early phase model steering coloum i got,but i was told it would fit.so now i come to fit it and come across a problem.my steering wheel doesnt seem to fit correctly and it rubs on the back of the steering wheel.is this because mine is a phase3 type and the one i been sent is possable phase1 or 2?the top of the coloum seems wrong,see pictures

phase 1 or 2 coloum

my old steering coloum phase3

steering wheel phase3


any help would be gratefull as i need my car tomorrow,and i got a feeling i might have to fit my old coloum back

theyre all the same.

slacken off the clamp to the lower column and pull on the wheel till it doesnt rub on anything, there is a specified amount that the upper column should protrude from the bracket, all documented in the Haynes manual Thumbs up

my problem is still there ,when i fit my steering wheel is seem as if the steering wheel goes to far down then start rubbing. because when i fit my old coloum back on then fit the steering wheel on all is ok. if i fitted an earlier steering wheel would this cure it?

well with having no look with this steering coloum,for osme strange reason it still rubs on the back of the wheels. so i refitted my old one and it went back together no problems,with no rubbing on the steering wheel

i have noticed is all the bracket on the steering coloumi bought second hand are totally the wrong way round and the shaft seem to be totally different. here is few more pics. if anyone could help me out to why the (second hand)steering coloum seems to be rubbing away on the steering wheel very badly.pictures and advice welcome.

more pictures

Problem seems fairly obvious

You have a phase 3 type as where the bolt gos through the wheel into the rack

wheras the one you have bought already has the thread on so you would need a nut onto it

Will have a phase 3 type from a Rallye im breaking this weekend, PM if interested

looking at your pictures coloums definatly wrong.look where wheel locates to splines one uses a bolt to secure the wheel one uses a nut.I think you have got a non airbag steering coloum.

right i have found out what the fault is.the coloum is correct but the shaft is totally different. so does anyone know how much the shaft is on it own,and does anyone know if i can get the bush/bearing from anywere? maybe bearing place?

any advice will be taken on board

you can't get the shaft on its own.

as I said earlier, there is no difference in the columns post May 2, 1994.

you need to tap or pull the shaft up through the bracket, there should be 2mm clearance between the wheel and the bracket (where its been rubbing)

you can't get the upper shaft on its own, it comes as a complete assembly.

upper column is 4123 G7, lower section for PAS RHD is 4103 E0

have you read any of what I've typed up there? LOL

loosen the clamp onto the lower column and give the wheel a good tug.
