Loosen this enough to free the wheel from the splines, unplug the Airbag and then the wheel ring from under the column and unscrew the 2 screws holding the column surround together and remove. Next is the steering wheel, there are two 6mm allen key bolts holding the Airbag in place, once this is lifted out of the way you will see a 24mm nut on the column.

No, you have to buy the full upper column for around 3k just for the sake of a circuit board that prob cost a couple of quid to make. Removing Mk3 Golf Steering Column Full Upper Column Nice job Guessing you cant just buy the ECU on its own though can you. I hope this thread saves some poor soul having to to do it in the future.
