Duuuude, very nice video! Not only did you edit it nicely, you explained "the why" in detail and showed "the what". You're a skilled teacher. Well done, brother.
Man you're a life saver, my mechanic was gonna charge me 500$ for this job, I knew I could have done it myself, but didn't have the courage to rip my car apart. With this video its gonna be a pieace of cake. Thanks man.
Did this work out for you? I've already paid the dealership mechanic$560 for it to be repaired once and it just went out again lol im debating on allowing my personal mechanic to do it but wanted to verify they still work after the Instructions from this video lol
So glad that guys like you help out by making these videos , the first time I snapped the ribbon inside the clock spring because I didn't have it in the centre. Now I know, Many thanks
Do not rotate your clockspring before replacing. Vw should auto learn SAS steering angle sensor as soon as you go driving.. it needs to detect wheel speed from all four before it recalibrates.. but if you center the wheel before removing just pull off and put on new clockspring and remove the locking tab

Bro whats the size of the triple square bit? Good video!
Don't apologize for doing helpful content as well as cool content! When the clockspring goes, you lose power to everything. Having a functioning airbag and horn could save your bacon.
That Viper is one of my childhood dream cars😍 Watching this because my mechanic wants me to tackle a clock spring as part of work experience. I had to Google what it was😆
Before anyone replaces a clock spring/ squib refer to your workshop manual to find out what make of spring you have valeo or another. Not all exact models have the same make of clock spring which means removal and connections may differ. Also ENSURE you run an autoscan using the appropriate diagnostics of the vehicle as you will 100% NEED the CODING from the old clock spring to enter into the new module. If you don’t have the correct coding you will have to put the old one back in again to get the code. After installation and coding the new module you will need to clear the faults using diagnostics because of battery disconnect and almost certainly need to do a steering angle sensor reset.
Good info! There is actually a recall on this for these cars also! Any info on coding with VCDS if the old clockspring was toast and got thrown out already?
BoostedMotorsports I think your only hope is to contact the country rep for VAG and beg for the code via er-win or search for the old /new part number on VAG or Ross tech forums with people who have cars with the same chassis number and have done auto scan. If you look at the autoscan at location 16 that’s where the steering wheel control module will be. If it’s the same part number with correct code and same chassis number then you could be in luck. You could try entering the code to see if it works. Always do autoscan before though if tit need to go back to how it was.
So I'm thinking my clock spring might be broken. Things that work: headlights, sun roof, hazards, radio, DLS interior lights, dash lights. Things that don't work: Horn, & Turn signals (idk about the airbag haven't tested that) it anyone could hell that would be awesome!
Hey! I probably have a bad clock spring on my MK6, causing the horn to not work. Also alarm randomly going off(obviously wihtout the horn) but hazard lights are blinking. Can that also be caused by the clock spring?
I did the same repair but I left the wheel turned to the side. when I reinstalled the new clock spring I centred it, and then offset it to where the other one was where I had marked it against the column. both ways work. the car will initially show a steering wheel calibration fault, but after driving a few blocks it goes away on it's own. nice video. good pace. sweet setup with the viper and the garage.
Does anyone know if there is a 12V source that can support 1-2A current for an external steering wheel heater that is passed throught the clock spring on these cars?
I replaced the clock spring on my Cadillac ATS-V. When starting the car up I get the dash messages for service for Power Steering, Stabilititrak, and Air Bag. Is this normal with a new clock spring replacement?
Thanks for the video. I completed my change over last week. The hardest part for me was the removal of the horn piece. It was super heavy and would not budge out. Eventually I understood the mirror to see the spring clip. Once levered off the post I needed the back end of a hammer claw to help pull it straight out. I struggled for hours when I needed a bit more grunt to pull.
Mate will I need anything to keep the program if I disconnect my battery. I notice people plugging in a small device when they disconnected my battery to replace it. They said it was to keep the codes. Is that an issue. Great vid. Thanks
Great video! Same procedure for a CC with immobilizer key fob (fob inserts into dash next to steering wheel), you just have to leave the battery connected until after you are done turning the steering wheel to get the airbag springs popped loose. Remember to center it before disconnecting the battery.
Hey man I have a 2015 Voltwagen Jetta. The airbag light, Traction light, and tire pressure light is on. I brought it to Voltwagen they said that the clock spring needs to be replaced and reprogrammed. I am hearing that there is no programming needed for the spring. What do you think I need to do fix the problem? Please get back soon as I'm trying to fix this problem quickly. Thank you.
@@carlosavila1425 it means you have to use a Vagcom or other tool to read the ecu of the car and transfer the coding from original piece to the new one. Otherwise won’t work!
if a clockspring wont rotate at all I take it ....its bad....would that keep my wheel from rotating? steering wheel wont turn even after I take the steering wheel lock off.
If you didn’t have a SRS light before as long as you don’t connect the battery with the airbag removed then you shouldn’t have to reset anything with a scanner. The windows you just reprogram yourself once the battery is connected again by holding each switch up for 3 seconds so that the one touch down relearns. 👍
i needed to replace clock spring on my 2013 Tiguan and i called local VW dealer for parts and what it would cost for them to program it after i install the part. This doesn't happen often but got great news....vw dealer advised that parts and labor to replace the clock spring is 100% covered by the dealer. so i called another dealer to verify they told me the same ( i scheduled an appointment for 01/03, i told this will take half day) . They advised that the clock spring warranty has been extended. this was a nice surprise. please check with your dealership prior to purchasing and replacing your clock spring. they said that as long as your mileage is lower than 999,999 you are covered. that's what their warranty shows. basically all cars are covered.
Thanks for this valuable video. Can any one helps me to know what is the specific coding/part of the spring clock for Seat Leon 2011 1.2 Tsi ? I saw two different kinds of spring clocks in the net that seems to be fitted but i don't know what is the right one..
Nice video, i’m gonna do it later on. Those VW have really parts. If not broken yet watch for the Handle hood release mechanism. Any spec torque for the steering wheel bolt???
Vycho Mora the clock spring has the wiring that controls steering wheel functions like the volume and mfi. Also controls the power to the airbag igniter. So as long as the wires are pulled and snapped the airbag won't work nor will the electronics on the steering wheel. It can also trip the airbag light
Did you have to reprogram the clockspring in the computer

Gettin ripped bro💪 not sure why I watched this. I dont have a VW, but hey I just watch em all.
Haha thanks for the support brother! 🤘 I figured I'm doing it anyway so might as well throw up a video for it 😎
Nicely done brother 💪 going to tackle on my Tiguan now
Please share the part number and the picture of the clock spring. I've a similar issue and I'm not able to get the right part....
So glad that guys like you help out by making these videos , the first time I snapped the ribbon inside the clock spring because I didn't have it in the centre. Now I know, Many thanks
great explanation made my replacement very easy to do, thank you

Why so much BS? Can’t anything be simple on these cars? I’m instantly regretting my purchase
@@AOqueso bs is what keeps the dollar bills rolling into the mechanics 😂

Thank you so much for this great video.
I have a 2000 Jetta tdi that I’ve been debating on starting as a project. Like the different content, it’s always cool to learn new things.
They are pretty fun cars to mod! My 06 TDI has a Malone stage 2 and some other goodies and its pretty quick for what it is!
Yeah there is a bigger aftermarket for them than what I thought.
Are you getting the e p c light
Hey! I probably have a bad clock spring on my MK6, causing the horn to not work. Also alarm randomly going off(obviously wihtout the horn) but hazard lights are blinking. Can that also be caused by the clock spring?
You just saved me 400 bucks :D cant wait to replace the damn thing on my cc
I just got this problem 😂? Where did you get the part from ?
Great video man, just curious about what size is that triple square bit to remove the center screw of the steering wheel...
Did you find out? I would appreciate knowing also
Very well explained.
Does aftermarket parts have any issues?
Why my mechanic says it is not ok to install it?
Hello, how do i know whitch klokspring i need for 1.6 tdi jetta mk6 2011. No steerbuttons....
Fantastic, clearly explained video - cheers !
Did you have to recode with VAGCOM?
You'll have to code it, see my other comment
Can somebody give me the serial number from vw jetta 2011 tdi 1.6 clock spring?
Where can i get the clock sping for 2012 volkswagen jetta 2.5 se...pls and thank you

My mechanic quoted $2000 which was way too much. Such a simple job. Part from the wreckers $89, tool from repco $42.

Wassup with the sizes for the screws such as the triple square and interior pieces

You'll have to code it, see my other comment
Do you have any idea if it is related to washers or not?
Does it need coding after installation of the new module
yes it does!
I’m changing mine out today
@@pavelsotiradrian1901 what does coding mean?
I replaced the new clock spring I have to take it to get coded?

Airbag light on because of broken clock spring will light go away after replacing and can u reset the light with a scan tool
Wonder how much the shop would charge to do this? Good vid btw
Excellent video! Thank you!
wow..!!! Great video Bro..!!! Help a lot, Thank u
Thanks for the video! This really helps.
He didn't even check the horn. 🤦♂️
thanks a lot!
No problem! 😎
Hello.bro..is clock spring repairable..i cant find new one in my country...
if a clockspring wont rotate at all I take it ....its bad....would that keep my wheel from rotating? steering wheel wont turn even after I take the steering wheel lock off.
They are just plastic so I would think something else is going on in your steering column.
Fuck I love your viper
Can this be use on a CC 2.0
Nice1 step by step great job done by u m8
do you have the part number of that clockspring in mk6 Jetta? cant seem to find one on the web.
You have the number ?
Hello..... does the clock spring /squib require any coding? or is it a like for like swap..
You'll have to code it, see my other comment
After connecting the battery at the end do you have to reset the windows and other electrical stuff using a scan? Or it should work out automatically?
If you didn’t have a SRS light before as long as you don’t connect the battery with the airbag removed then you shouldn’t have to reset anything with a scanner. The windows you just reprogram yourself once the battery is connected again by holding each switch up for 3 seconds so that the one touch down relearns. 👍

It's called a torx not a triple square
WRONG! Torx has 6 points smart guy
Lmao 🤣 you be wrong my guy 👦
Can an uncentered clock spring mess up my alignment?
