Astra mark 5 steering wheel onto a cally T

[rob160]

Righty then Iv just bought a new shape astra steering wheel with the multi function controls on but as Iv not received it yet I wondering if it will just fit on or need moding as the same with the air bag plug. Any ideas?

[callymental]

If the spline is the same as the astra 4 it just won't fit. I had to get a Vectra wheel which does. Has the steering controls, but not yet got them working.

Mutli controls probably won't work but if you can find a wiring diagram im sure you could propably come up with some way of bodging it.

[callymental]

There is a wiring diagram for the vectra wheel to a cally on cavweb. Check the splines though. I still have an Astra 4 wheel that I bought, and need to sell on.

How much diferace is the between the mark4 an 5 and as im a welder could I cut the splined area off and weld it on

[callymental]

I don't know about the 5. If the splines are not the same as yours, you'll need to weld the cally spline in.

[rob160]

sounds easy enough I could get another cally colum for £10 wile I'm doing the work but how much will a Astra mark 4 or 5 be second hand.

[rob160]

Will be a good mod though I bet I will be the only 1 or 1 of very few

[callymental]

I would think the only one with a mark 5. I have heard of a mark 4 being fitted which must have been welded.

[rob160]

Its getting hold of a mark 5 colum though

[callymental]

Vauxhall may be able to tell you if it is the same as the mark 4. Quite possibly.

[rob160]

Good idea
