leather steering wheel retrofit S40-V40 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Klein on  Mon Apr 30 11:09 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello,

We just bought a 2001 V40 and love it but it does not have the leather steering wheel. What do you guys think of buying one from a wrecked one (rim only with exploded airbag), marrying it to the airbag in my car and mounting it on the car? Not to be done by me, but a mechanic or Volvo shop.

The other (cheaper) option would be to get a Wheelskin, but while that looks OK, it's not as neat.

Thanks, Jim

    Hi Jim,

    I recently had my local Volvo dealer swap out steering wheels on my 2000 V40, and it was a quick and relatively inexpensive deal as far as labor goes (about $25.)

    I thought I had ordered the "sport" leather steering wheel with my car, but somehow ended up with a ordinary looking "leather" steering wheel. So be sure to be specific when searching for that "neat" leather steering wheel! (Of course, I now have a "spare" off-black color leather steering wheel sitting in my garage!)

    Best of luck in your steering wheel quest!
