heated steering wheel: will a later type fit the 2005 Model?

Hi, my heated steering wheel stopped heating Twisted Evil
My FFRR is a 2005 MY. Does anyone know if a steering wheel from a later type L322 will fit mine?
Thanks! Thumbs Up

Not quite 100% positive, but when looking for bits for my steering wheel, it looked like the same wheel will fit cars from 2002 to around 2010 / 2011.
Powerful uk have a video about removing the steering wheel and quote the same wheel 2002 to 2011
Maybe some very high spec wheels may have additional functions / different wheel.

E-bay seem to have the lot, in different specs / trim, leather colours etc.

Hope this helps.

The wheel you tend to buy is just the leather rim with spokes and the hub. It’s bare, so you transfer your wiring pretty much. I put a later wheel on to my 2003 car when I had it, and had to keep the original module so the connector fitted. I think it had a bit of wiring with it, thinking on.

So yes, it will fit, but you might need to mix and match if your new one has any wiring.

Here’s the thread I did at the time....

Just make sure it's actually the steering wheel heating element that's at fault before you replace it. Mine wasn't working and I recently fixed it by replacing the relay which provides power to it.

Hi all! Thanks for your help! Been in the car today en checked the heating element: when straight connected to an external battery no heat at all. Double checked with an ammeter: no resistance whatsoever. Beside that the heating element (when sort of working long ago...) heated over on some spots and did barely nothing on others. So it was on the way out then I guess Sad

Now finding a nice wheel with a perfect heating element isn't easy. I saw some on ebay, but hard to tell if they are okay or on the way out... Someone with an idea?? Bow down

You can check the resistance of the heating element with a multimeter, powerful UK have a video on YouTube on how to.

I've got a spare steering wheel in the garage I've been meaning to check over and then sell on.

Hello Kezbo, very informing video! Didn't check the thermister but did check the resistance on the heating element and that was definitely dead Big Cry So a new steering wheel is due. When your spare is okay and willing to sell, than please PM me.
