Looking for extended paddle shifters for the flat bottom S-Line steering wheel and prefer to stay OEM instead of some stick-on aftermarket ones.

Does anyone (probably spijun) know if the SQ5 paddles are a direct replacement to the smaller ones found on the S-Line steering wheel?

Thanks in advance!

According to "ETKA" a possible is a direct replacement

S/N: 8V0-951-523 SQ5

S/N: 4H0-951-523E standard

They're still pretty stubby on the SQ5...

yeah, all depends what you want - some out there are enormous.

I was planning to do this same mod, however I almost never find myself using the paddles in the TDI. I think it comes down to the torque availability. In my prior A3 S-Line (gas 2.0T), I would use them quite often (to get into a peppier range), but with the TDI, that seems unnecessary. I may still do it for the looks, but I'm less inclined now due to the lack of use.

Here's Q5 S-Line and SQ5:
