Bought myself a ur today. needs some TLC but nothing serious. have a few questions. Will a 3 spoke non airbag wheel from an S2/Audi coupé fit?? the diffs dont seem to work. when i pull the button nothing happens, an when i push it back i can hear a slight "psssh" sound. no bad sounds from gearbox/rear axel. any body got a clue?? thougt it might be something with the vaccum hoses first but when i heard the sound i thought probobly not. Greatfull for help. cheers, Kris. PS. this is what it looks like when we are putting snow tyres on to get home (live a bit north)

Yes the wheel will fit I have an s2 non airbag one on both of my mb's and diff lock not working will be a leak in the system some where. Congrats by the way a good choice of a classic if not iconic car

Sounds like it is working just the light might not be the noise you are hearing should be the noise of it locking/unlocking.
the steering wheel does fit as amanda has one on each of her ur quattros.
what colour is that, looks like helious blue?
whats with the 5 stud steel rims? i've never seen any of them before

Wheel itself will fit, also the hub. But you will loose horn functionality. Use golfII/typ85 steering wheel hub, and bolt wheel to it.
I have tried S2 sw in my coupe (sort of ur-dash
), however there's only one true choice for the non race UR, which fits it like glove

Thank you all. i must say i think the car was a real bargain. So the wheel fits, i know the diffs dont work cuz when i pulled the knob out and drove in circles the axels didnt lock upp.Comment

congrats as darren said a vacuum leak will be the reason the diffs aren't locking..
A pipe may have split or perished or the actuator may be faulty... the difflocks are simple, they vacuum pulls a level via the actuator which moves a ring gear across the gear on the diff and the driveshaft flange to lock the drive 50/50 to the wheels.Jay - pug_life85@hotmail.com

seems to be vacuum, when i pull the knob out, and then push it back in i can hear a pssssh sound as if something was leaking. for,ex vacuum.Comment
