- Finally, I got round to covering my Audi's steering wheel.
I've put the link on where to buy the leather cover in my previous video on the steering wheel arrival.
Here's the link to BMAC CarMods on how to stitch the steering wheel:

Central bolt is a M12 XZN? thanks
That’s not a torx that’s a triple square 12mm if I’m correct. I’m thinking about putting a 6 bolt steering wheel adapter made for a b5 on my 2004 b6 but if I’m right I should be able to use the adapter and it should fit the same if it’s a triple square 12mm
Perfect video
Nice Job.
wish I had seen this before I did mine. LOL.
How do you think Mine turned out??
Audi recommends replacing axle nut due to stretch..used it over 3 times and I’m still here.
Yeah, I used it 4 times and it worked just fine 😉
Never be behind the wheel or any airbag when you connect the battery and put the key in the ignition and turn it after working on air bags. They can go off and cause injury.
Is there anything else I can use rather than T55?
Nope. Only T55 will fit.
What size torx? T45 ?
Ryan Coffman Hey Ryan. The two airbag torx are 30 if memory serves me and the main one holding the steering wheel in the center is a 55 torx 😉😁
No, i need a T70 or T80 for my steering wheel...1.8T 150hp...
Is your car facelift? One more thing? How to clean the contact ring, because I have some issues with my horn?
Yes, mine was a facelift. If your horn is not working properly it could be the two contacts where the wires connect in the steering wheel or it could be the horn itself which is behind the front bumper. There are two, a low tone and a high tone.
@@carfanfan I did change my horns. I didnt have two of them so I installed only a low tone one. It works perfect when im driving. But when the car is only on ignition without the engine working the horn is giving a weird sound (maybe because i installed only one?). Also when the car is still cold in the morning the horn is not working.
@@frozenwitcher4955 it sounds to me like the horn isn't getting enough power. Have you checked the horn relay? I would recommend replacing the relay for the horn.
@@carfanfan Thank you. I'll get it done.
The large center bolt for the steering wheel needs a Torx 55 to loosen it 😁
Absolutely not. It’s XZN spline M12
nope! triple square 12mm
@@taomicioli On the 1999-2001 it's a Torx 55. Trust me. I had that wheel off many times.
@@carfanfan then why does that bolt have 12 points?? ..... as a vw tech and a 2000 a4 b5 owner , my etka lists it as a triplesquare
@@carfanfan t55 appears to work for you, but that's not what our dealer uses.
You can either try to do it cheap and it will look like shit or you can pay the correct amount of money and will look professional + very high satisfaction.
Yeah, turned out doing it myself turned out better than the so-called professionals
how did you install this screen?
I did a video on how I did it but it was a while ago. You need a double din symphony system in your car first of all. Then you need the Metra dash kit fr eBay to install on the radio itself. The Metra kit attaches to the radio and the then slides into the radio cage in the dash. So the black plastic you see around my screen is actually attached to the unit. The wood the above the radio unclips and will allow you to uninstall and install your radio.
@@carfanfan the bottom piece where the ashtray goes, where have you got it? Is it a piece of another model?
@@alexdelamoruiz1 The ashtry is unique to models with a double din system. I got mine on eBay. JUST SEARCH Audi B5 ashtray and you're bound to come across a few. They aren't cheap. Also make sure with the seller the one you're looking at is from a car with the Symphony sound system and not a Concert as Symphony is double din. The gearshift wood surround is also unique to the double car so you need to replace that as well otherwise the ashtray won't fit
@@carfanfan thanks you so much, i find the 2 din adapter but y don't know what ashtray is the correct, i find two that can be the right, one is the wood color that you have mounted in the car and the other have a black piece in the end of ashtray to engage with the gearshift zone
@@alexdelamoruiz1 it really depends which color you have in your car Alex. I originally bought a different color and the swapped out the correct cover when I was able to find one. But right now you have quite a lot to choose from as eBay have a variety listed.
howe much Nm is the 55T Bolt
Dunno, just drop some locktite drops in it and turn til it's tight.
@@carfanfan thx
@@leandroferneles5942 I like your Audi btw in your profile pic. Nice 👍👌
@@carfanfan i hafe simuler Problems on my a6
the Color is fading away.
I am now trying to paint the steering wheel with new color but if it doesn't work I will rap it like you did.
and thx for the nice video👌
@@leandroferneles5942 If I were you bro, I'd just recover it. The covers they sell on AliExpress fit like a glove and are real leather. You will love the chunky feel it gives the steering wheel. Very sporty.
