How to Remove the Steering Wheel from a Golf 7

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Steering wheel

In this video tutorial, the procedure for replacing the steering wheel in a Volkswagen Golf 7 is shown. To replace it, first disconnect the battery, then get into the car, insert the key, and turn the steering wheel to access the clip with a screwdriver to open the steering wheel and disconnect the airbag to prevent it from deploying accidentally during the removal process. Once the first clip is opened, turn the steering wheel to reach the other clip and open the steering wheel. After opening the steering wheel cover, disconnect the airbag by unplugging the wires that power it. Once the airbag is removed, use a T-55 socket to remove a bolt to take off the steering wheel. To refit it, screw in the bolt, reconnect the airbag, and then close the steering wheel.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
