Agree with not being fit for purpose, I don't blame it on their build quality in general just believe some of these 197 steering wheels were made with defective manufacturing/products.

Just hope RUK see this and help us all out
 
Not fit for purpose like the recaros. Total disgrace. Mines looks like somebody has attacked it with a blowtorch.

The quality is supposed to be better in the mk3. Obviously not.
 
Also it's funny you say about the woman at ruk denying the problem Roy. I was told it's very rare for the recaros to be an issue.

Head in the sand!
 
Got mine replaced before the warranty ran out as it was all melted and looked horrible. They did take quite alot of time to make a decision but I just kept calling them and annoying them until they realised it was an easier life by giving me anew one.
 
id still like to see a picture of it if possible?

which part is melting?

isn't it mostly leather?
 
eew...

sounds like a very good idea getting it reupholstered, id like it a bit thicker aswell
 
Mine was the worst one I've seen got one off Karl for 130 and sold mine for 50 I think so only cost me 80quid which isn't to bad I don't think, but it's a joke how bad they get!!
 
Why should I pay anything at all it's there crap product that's useless.your right Luke they look awful when they go mine as just started at the top right hand side
