[tech] passat steering wheel into a mkii

[ranahan@charter.net (John Erickson)]

The stock Scirocco wheel is 15" in diameter.  The 
Passat/Corrado wheel is 14.5" in diamter.  The euro 
version is 14.  Its all cosmetic.  I just got tired of 
looking at the four-button wheel.  They are non-airbag 
(unless you want one).

|I meant the wheel itself
|
|is it a cosmetic thing? smaller diameter? I would doubt 
|it was for an
|airbag????
