i had it replaced under warrantee and then the new one started cracking the following winter!

Suggestion
If you like the look of it - go for it, but it seems like it's a miss-use of the carbon fiber material to do all this decorative stuff, and even worse, it could be dangerous in a steering wheel grip.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've seen carbon fiber on one of the threads in here and it looks nice but is there any issue with sweaty hands and grip? (Leave the comments about sweaty hands out....) I seem to have sweaty hands driving the p-car but not any of our other vehicles...Maybe I'm too excited but whatever. Do you have any issues with grip and carbon fiber, or wood trim?
The carbon runs across the top and two smaller sections on bottom. Not a biggie with wetness, as the leather is right there.
We have wood/leather on our Audi, same question same answer. Not a problem. Though I don't have much moisture in the palms.
Yes but In thought they are a bit "poohpooh" for my tastes. You just don't see them anymore. Out west particularly. Once I attempt the DE's and move to those events most likely I'll end up doing that. Thanks.
my steering wheel is alu where the CF is located. i have never has an issue with your concern.
it is cooler for the warm up in winter and can get toasty if sitting in the balzing sun but they blow away the standard wheel imo.
I saw the picture of the CF steering wheel, and I thought I would comment about it.
If that's true carbon fiber cloth and resin, I think that could be a big problem on a steering wheel. ie: eventually I think you might wear through the epoxy resin and then you'll have sharp shards of carbon fibers that could hurt your hands and cause other problems.
If you like the look of it - go for it, but it seems like it's a miss-use of the carbon fiber material to do all this decorative stuff, and even worse, it could be dangerous in a steering wheel grip. I wouldn't have it on the steering wheel. CF shards hurt.
My car is a 2000 with the carbon fiber steering wheel. I think that i would sooner wear through the leather than the epoxy. Moreover, the steering wheel is about as cool an option as I've seen. it always gets attention from passersby.
My car was originally a California car. My guess is after 5 years in SoCal sun, it caused the "resin coating" to crack. What I am left with is a "cracked" areas on the CF. Not a huge issue, but everytime I grip the wheel I think "damn, I wish it didnt cost $1,000 bucks to get a new one!!" Not sure if this is an isolated case or not, but it definitely happened on mine.
Queen, that's a definite shame and I've heard of that happening on some steering wheels. I think the key 'was' to have reported it to Porsche while you were in warranty for repair. I've hard the newer resin coatings are much better.
The carbon wheel looks very sharp. But I'm not sure I'm fond of how it feels when you drive. It feels like gripping hard smooth plastic, while leather is much more tactile in feel.
Mate, you don't grip the carbon fiber, you grip the leather pads at the (10 & 2) and (9 & 3) positions. It's fantastic and I've never noticed any slippage. And frankly, when I were leather driving gloves when the weather gets a bit nippy, the grip is fantastic.
mine cracks when the temps drop below freezing. i had it replaced under warrantee and then the new one started cracking the following winter! if someone wants to trade me their graphite grey wheel for a graphitegrey/carbon wheel, I would definitely be interested!
