New Steering Wheel

Recommended Posts

Hi All. I have recently changed by Toyota to an Avensis SR. Great ride and styling, but I find the steering wheel dull. I would like to change it to a leather wheel, or a MOMO design. Has anyone had any experinece doing this. If too difficult, then I can always get a leather skin, but I do not think that it will look as good. Surprising that Toyota sell the SR with a dull looking wheel. Help appreciated. Mark

As all toyota steering wheels hold air-bag that is connected to the system by spiral coil cable it would give you big headache to do it. On the other hand, you will invalidate your warranty unless you get the letter of approval by Toyota dealer. Note that many of Avensis cars have problems with steering wheel (including mine) so it would be good excuse for dealer, if by time something goes wrong with steering wheel/rack, to blame you.

The best option would be to talk with dealer's cheef engineer (not cheef mechanic), through Customer's relations.

Hope this helpes.

OK

Thanks for that. I may as well simply stitch on a leather skin. I think that you can get these from the States. Mark
