No one has done it since it was a recall....and Audi does it for you.

Default I've done it.....

I replaced mine, and a month later, Audi recalled it.

Follow the Bentley manual, and you'll be OK.
Basically, you pull the steering wheel off, pull the shroud off the steering column (I think the instrument cluster has to come out first) then unscrew the old switch, and put the new one in. I'm probably missing something though.

Default I was the 4th owner of my 97, and it was replaced free....

If you give your VIN to the dealer, they should be able to look it up to see if there is a recall.
