Hi All,

I’ve spent a while reading past forum posts , the steering wheel removal guide and downloaded the eLearning stuff but I still need some guidance re removing the steering wheel on my 2002 Ducato 2.8 – I think it may be referred to as a 230(? – something I picked up off the internet).

The steering wheel type is as pictured. I’m assuming that to remove it I will have to puncture the base of the steering wheel at the point where the holes are marked?




My issues are
1. There are four hole points marked so should I pick the ones widest apart?
2. How much pressure is actually needed – I tried one hole and other than piecing the soft outer steering wheel covering I could not feel any give which given that a spring is involved I’d have expected to feel some movement. Just trying to avoid causing more damage than I’m repairing (faulty steering column switch).


Many thanks

A minor addition, I've just looked up the vehicle via it's VIN number on the forum's ePer facility and as per the image attached, it's actually a model 232 Ducato '94 built in 2002

OK - issue resolved. I located a servicing manual in German (which I don't speak!)

For anyone else that comes across the same issue - the cover just pulls gently off from the top and the inner cover is gently prised out with care being taken over the horn wiring.

well done,
be glad you didn't have an airbag to contend with..

if you need further assistance over time,
tag your new thread "ducato" so it will show in the Ducato section .. bottom of FF homepage,
