M-Sport Steering Wheel

Fritzables · 03-29-2009, 02:14 AM

Hi All,

After 18 months I have noticed that the matt finish on the M-Sport Steering Wheel is starting to peel off.

Is this a known issue??

Seeing that it's only 18 months old I will hit them up for a replacement but concerned in the long run if it's a re-occurring issue.

Mine has the same thing in the same spots on both sides of the wheel, with only 17k miles. I have no rings on my fingers nor do I race. It's garbage.

JK. Yea, that's pretty shitty.

my bro's car is doing it too. But dealer is garbage, and the knowledgeable service adviser was busy, so i had to deal with some chose synonym for idiot and he claimed its "normal". The Imported Car Store FTL.

mine has done it before I sold that piece

Had a chat to the dealer today.

The first thing I asked was if it was a common ailment with the M-Sport wheel and as it turns out - Yes it is.

But he was saying that there has been a batch change to hopefully sort the issue out. The new one is ordered on warranty and will be fitted next week.

Damn that sucks! I try to keep my stock parts after I mod 'em -- hope you can go back to your stock part until you get it replaced.

WHAT ?!?!?! You're kidding me !!!

I get my steering wheel changed out tomorrow so I will put the dealer on the spot and ask why I am hearing all this negative feedback.

Have you asked the question 06E90Rostik??
