I have done a search to no avail, does anyone know if there is a known issue with premature wearing of the steering wheel leather?

Your dealer should replace it without issue - it's a known issue, just search the disco3 site. |

My Stealer replaced my steering wheel under warranty today for worn/peeling leather after just 33k km's in 18 months...

My "old" RRS had the textured steering wheel but my 2009 has the smooth one. Now I know that if I get it replaced it maybe a textured wheel, I will put one of those fluffy covers on it from KMART so that it doesn't wear out |

Its not a 'replacement' as such. Its just whats on the newer ones (09MY). So if they replaced it under warranty they would have ordered the one for your vehicle which is the textured one. I replaced mine with this smooth one and its a much better feeling to drive. Didnt have any issues with my old one though other than the texture.

I don't think all MY09's have it.. I know BKHK said his does, but there was a MY09 in the Stealer last week that had the textured wheel. |

2nd, that's weird. My 2008 car seems (according to VW) to have had the new style wheel and my 2009 car (according to VW) has the old style wheel.
