Here’s how to remove the steering wheel from an Audi A3: starting from the central position, rotate the steering wheel ninety degrees to the right, and you will find a screw facing the instrument panel that you need to loosen with a Torx 30 key. Return the steering wheel to the centre and rotate it ninety degrees to the left, repeating the previous operation on this side as well.

Centre the steering wheel, remove the central part by disconnecting the two electrical connectors, and take off the spacer and buttons on the spokes.

Using an M12 Allen key, unscrew the central bolt, mark the position on the steering column, and remove the steering wheel.
