We've got a steering column in an '05 A3RE that won't lock in place tilt-wise. Anyone have, or know where to get, a breakdown of the column so we don't go in blind? Bluebird apparantly only services this column as a unit (P/N 01948835).

Has anyone even tried to repair the tilt on one of these columns? Seems like you should be able to, instead of spending over $1000 for a new one!

If I were you, I'd try to contact the manufacturer directly. I THINK those are made by TRW/Ross, here is the only thing I can find, perhaps it would help... http://trucksteering.trwauto.com/files/TC34.pdf

Is there a tag or data plate on the thing anywhere listing the brand and model? Douglas was another column maker, but I think that's more IC and Thomas stuff.

Hope this helps!
