3 spoke airbag wheels started with '95 so it will not fit unless you've done conversion
edit: wheel itself will fit, but B4 starting from '95 has light/wiper stalks with larger center hole and cover around them, also some pins in stalk connectors needs to be re-arranged.
'97 was the last year with this steering wheel
If that's the one you've offered, then you will need stalks with large center hole (fits from >95 B4, C4A6 or pre-facelift B5), stalk covers from >95 B4, custom made spacer to fit stalks on thinner steering column (cut from plastic tube or even few layers of ducttape will do the job), re-arrange pins on stalk connectors (one or two of them has to be soldered due to different pin size) and resolder horn connector. I've done this on '94 car (same as '93)
If this wheel then don't bother, it's too much hassle to get it working right
Wheel that's in my car is straight bolt on, it's stalks that requires swap and some work. For second wheel you will have to use adapter (available as oem part from VW) to fit wheel, think for custom solution for horn and turn indicator switch-off mechanism to work. Also no way to get airbag working.
One or two of pins in light stalk connector had to be resoldered, don't remember which exactly. It had small pin, but there was a large pin hole on new stalk connector (or large -> small). I can check it later.
And if you can't find stalk covers, you can use covers from C4 A6 temporarily. Not as good as right ones, but better than nothing:
Sorry if this has been asked before, I didn't find it with my searching skills I'm offered an original 3-spoke steering wheel from a '97 cabriolet. Can anyone confirm that it will fit my S2 from '93?
The list of 3 spoke sport steering wheels that work are shown below. It is *NOT* absolutely necessary to change the stalks, etc. but if you want the signal lights to self-cancel you need to modify the cancellation ring on the clock spring. I discuss several options (Methods 1, 2 and 3) to do make this modification in this post:
