I recommend keeping the Factory Tip switches too because they actually come in handy for me because I drive in Manual Mode 99.9% of the time and with those I can shift up or down with either hand with one hand on the wheel, I use the paddles when "both " hands are on the wheel..

The paddles themselves look a little stocky compared to the most recommended ones which are taller and slender, but if you like them ( and the price ) I don't see why you shouldn't use them...

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I can get these MB paddle shifters for next to nothing local to me. Wondering if they will work though

POST 4Original post

Yes they will work.... The mounting looks to be the same as I and many others have used and made threads in here about it... The paddles themselves look a little stocky compared to the most recommended ones which are taller and slender, but if you like them ( and the price ) I don't see why you shouldn't use them...

Thanks PT3 - yes, I can grab these for a fraction of ordering from MB Canada, or from European sources.

Hi Skip, I would like to add paddle shifters to my '03 Tiptronic. Can they be added to the factory steering wheel or must a new wheel be purchased? Can you recommend a brand or source? Thanks in advance.

Well, it's only two mounting screws and three wires.....an upshift wire, a downshift wire, and a grounding wire... But if you are not used to any Fabrication type work, cutting out the back of the padding could be intimidating..
