Did any of the 412 model years have tilt steering of any kind...?
I am not sure about the 412, but on my 400i, If you remove the trim under the steering wheel, some degree of tilt is adjustable by loosening 1 or 2 bolts and tilting the wheel to a set position. good Luck, tony
Doesn't sound much like a "tilt wheel" to me. After you have loosened the bolts, is there anything locking the wheel into its new position or is it just dangling there? There is nothing in the owners manual about that feature. John
John... I checked a 412 owners manual, but to no avail... There is no mention of any sort of button or switch or lever that would adjust the steering wheel...
We've got an 87 412 in at the moment so I checked there isn't a tilt mechanism, the bolts being refered to are the mounting bolts that hold the steering coloum onto the firewall, as has already been posted they can be slackened off a bit to give you a few mill's of adjustment (before being tightend up in the new position)
When I first sat in my 400i my first inclination was to adjust the tilt wheel.... but, alas, it doesn't adjust. Are we all spoiled by the standard conveniences of our modern everyday drivers? I've since gotten used to the wheel on my 400i. (sorry, but I cannot comment directly on the 412)
