As per title; in the accessories price list (AKM 743 - Dec.2001 - page 19)
Wooden steering wheels are noted as not suitable (for Diesel Autos)

Can anybody expand on this please?

I'm sure that the advice has been ignored, probably many times.

I can only think of a steering wheel anti vibration counter balance weight, which I've read about, and recall that it was for diesels.
Maybe this can't be fitted to a wood rim wheel.

Regards

Mike
