Polo 6C Clock spring replacement

Post by Le_Combattant »

Hello boys !

Since last year and of course, juste after the replacement of my steeringwheel by a brand new one, my clock spring started to make some *bad* noise when I'm turning left or right.
Everything works fine, until it will break I don't know when.

I know that on certain VW platform, you need to save and recode the new module. But on Polo 6C it doesn't seems to be the case.

Remove/install is easy, just the steering wheel airbag is a pain in the ass to pop off.

The slip ring in the 6c is basically just a cable. You just need to center it properly. Otherwise just screw the old one off and the new one on.

Good news, so a 10min job.

Hopefully thr part is cheap, 45 euros in my dealership.
Worth to remove all this plastic noise when I'm turning my steeringwheel.
