Modding paddle shifters to a VW jetta TFSI ?

[Mite_a]

Hello All, wanted to ask if it is possible to some how buy a GTI steering wheel with Paddle shifters and get it working ?

[stephen8512]

yes it is possible. VAGCOM coding will be necessary.

You can either use the GTI or the R32 steering wheel. THeyre both the same

Oh?
That means a 118tsi could have the gti steering wheel? mk6 i mean

That's great news, I'm gonna hit up ebay for a steering wheel with paddle shifters in that case, only problem is I live in Melbourne and any codding costs a arm and a leg :(.

Not sure about the MK6...but Im guessing it would be the same principle too....cant see why not? But dont quote me on that.

I know that it works on a MK5 as I've seen it done....to a TDI with a GTI wheel and a Jetta TFSI with an R32 wheel....both examples had paddles

I'm sure there would be someone from the forum that would be happy to help you out with the coding :)

Melbourne guys need a DIY day like we had up in Sydney :D Hmm, I should get the ball rolling on another one of those..

Depends which Jetta you have. If you have 155TSI look at the GTI/GTL ones but if its 118 go for the scirocco flat wheel with paddles. it works only coding and airbag activation is required.

I have the 147tfsi, I'm pretty sure its compatible, the wolfsburb jetta in the US has paddle shifters

I did this with the GF's 118. No probs at all...

Does anyone know/has anyone done this to a 2004 mk5 2.0 fsi comfortline ? Would love this mod on my golf.

Ryan_R has a 118TSI and recently fitted a GTI steering wheel with paddles - so it can be done. Steering wheels are around $600-700.

All the people who seem to have done this mod have dsg gearbox's. Mine is just the 6 speed sports auto box. Does this matter ?
