upside-down steering wheel; can I fix steering column?

Feb 19, 2009 by Twisted J | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I recently wrecked my 1997 VW passat. the steering wheel is upside-down when driving straight, and the mechanic says You cannot fix that without getting a new steering column. Is this true, or is there a good way to fix this

sometimes the wheel can be removed and replaced correctly

and the end of the steering shaft can be rotated 180 degrees to correct this
I am not positive but in older cars 1988 and older yes!

call the vw dealer service dept.

take it to a good alignment shop check withyour local BBB or better yet ask a cop or a firefighter where they take their cars they wont steer you wrong (no pun intended)worst case scenario if its really bugging you take it to a shop and have them pull the steering wheel and reinstall it in the proper position.

Most likely "no", all steering shafts and sectors that I have
dealt with are indexed in different ways to assure that you
don't install things improperly!

Mercedes AMG C63 truly top class

31.12.69

VALUE

The Coupe is well-priced for the class and its competition. It used to be overshadowed by Godzilla, the Nissan GT-R, but the all-wheel-drive turbo monster has blown out by more than $20,000 this year to $168,800.

It also edges out BMW's M3, which comes now from $155,000 as a coupe, although the softer Audi S5 coupe (our pick was always the RS4) stands at $138,900.

The vast majority of C63s are now being ordered with the Performance Pack, which adds $14,900 but pays back with an extra 22kW, bigger brakes, 19-inch alloys and a different steering wheel.

Still, even the cooking car has sports seats, leather trim, alloys, aircon, a punchy sound system and the AMG updates to the engine, suspension and transmission.

TECHNOLOGY

The newest AMG car could be the last newcomer with the 6.2-litre V8. Benz, as with BMW, is shifting to turbo power at its go-faster division. The engine in the new Coupe makes 336kW/600Nm, but the downside is official consumption of 12.1L/ 100km and CO2 emissions of 283g/km. The upside, thanks to the seven-speed sports auto, is a 0-100km/h sprint in 4.4 seconds and the usual limited top speed of 250km/h.
