So I just got a '92 NA diesel jetta parts car. It has a tilt wheel that I was thinking of swapping in my '88 jetta. Has anyone tried this? It looks like the dash needs more room for the tilt wheel to go up but I am not sure. It also has cruise control but that looks to be a pain to swap in. Anyone tried that?

There is a thread on the tex that I was just reading last week about swapping CE1 wiring for CE2. There was some discussion about tilt column swaps also, VWVortex Forums CE2 Swap Thread

Basically it seems to be doable, either dash pad will work.

If for some reason you don't do it, I might be interested in a complete tilt swap for the 89.

Thanks for the link, sounds like it may be doable. I took off some panels and it looks like the column is riveted in place under the dash. Should be interesting drilling those out. I am hoping the turn signal and wiper switch from the 88 will bolt on to the 92 column. If I give up with it Ziptar I will let you know, though I am not sure that shipping from BC to Florada would be worth it.

Lol you should have just asked me for one :lol:

It is not riveted on, it will all unbolt.

I guess I should have.. The list was already so long though. Perhaps before you head out for school.
