VW T5.1 Mk6 Steering Wheel Retrofit with Blue Stitching

VW T5.1 Mk6 Golf flat-bottom steering wheel retrofit complete with multifunction controls and blue-stitched leather

This VW T5.1 is now sporting a serious upgrade — we’ve just completed the installation of a Mk6 Golf flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel, and it transforms the entire driving experience. 🛠️🚐 The VW T5.1 Mk6 steering wheel not only brings a bold new look but also adds a level of functionality and comfort that older factory wheels just can’t match.

VW T5.1 Mk6 Golf Steering Wheel Upgrade

Ever looked at your van’s steering wheel and thought, “this could use a refresh”? You’re not alone. This customer wanted a modern twist with OEM flair — so we sourced, fitted, and coded a genuine VW T5.1 Mk6 steering wheel complete with multifunction buttons and a flat-bottom design.

The upgrade includes smooth black leather across the main grips, perforated side panels for extra hold, and vivid blue stitching that adds a modern aesthetic — all while maintaining that OEM+ feel. The full multifunction setup means cruise control, media, and onboard settings are all right at your fingertips.

🔵 Smooth and perforated black leather
🔵 Blue contrast stitching for a standout finish
🔵 Full multifunction buttons on both sides
🔵 Flat-bottom design for a sportier feel

It’s a subtle but powerful change. Flat-bottom steering wheels offer improved legroom and a sportier feel, while the multifunction controls reduce distraction and streamline driving. Combined with the tactile leather and standout stitching, this steering wheel brings the T5.1 interior in line with newer VW models.

To complete the retrofit, we carefully removed the original wheel and airbag using manufacturer-recommended techniques. We then installed the new Mk6 wheel and re-integrated all wiring into the factory loom — no spliced wires, no aftermarket workarounds. Everything was coded using ODIS and VCDS to ensure full compatibility and error-free operation.

We always carry out a full diagnostic scan before and after retrofits like this to ensure clean communication between the new components and the vehicle’s control modules. This is where our expertise in vag retrofits comes in — coding, adaptation, and testing is second nature to our team.

Jobs like this usually take a couple of hours, giving our customer time to enjoy our dedicated waiting area — complete with hot drinks, free Wi-Fi, and a smart TV. Whether you’re catching up on emails or just taking a break, we’ve made sure the experience is just as smooth as the retrofit itself.

We regularly welcome VW owners from across the UK for vag retrofits, including those from Coventry, Leicester, Birmingham, and beyond. Whether you’re upgrading your van’s steering wheel, fitting cruise control, or adding heated seats, we’ve got the tools and experience to deliver properly integrated results.
