Hello all, I have got my first ever German car and have no idea on what to look for no I would like to swap steering wheel. I have a 97/98 b5 and I would like to fit a three or four spoke leather steering wheel as the one on the car has seen better days. I have got one that was listed as a 98 b5 and it is nothing like the same fitment as mine ? mine has a much smaller center hole for the column and a square ish plastic plate on the rear of the wheel. the wiring is not the same either. help please paul. 

Sounds like its from a B5 facelift (99-01) and not a 98. 

Ok thank you for that, how do I get a leather steering wheel that will fit my car ? it seem's that all the ones that I have found have the same larger center hole and have not got the same square ish plastic bit on the rear of the wheel.
