How do you replace the steering wheel of the Volkswagen Polo?

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Steering wheel

To replace the steering wheel of the Volkswagen Polo, you will need to turn the wheel first to the right and then to the left, so that it is possible to access the clips that secure the airbag to the center of the steering wheel itself: once these clips have been detached, you can remove the airbag by disconnecting the underlying connector. In this way, it will be possible to locate the nut that secures the steering wheel to its seat and it will be possible to loosen it: now you can position the new replacement piece, so that it is fixed with its central nut, verifying that it is functional.
