The indicator switch on my Polo GTI has a faulty contat when turning left. I remember a few years managing to fix the unit on my MK2 Golf. The unit looks similar and I thought I'd give it ago and try to fix it before forking out on a replacement. I have removed the steering column cowling but can't figure out where to go from here. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Also if anyone has any ideas how much a new switch would be.

I now have a Haynes Manual, but cannot figure out the technique for loosening the air bag retaing springs. The manual is sketchy and just says loosen the spring retaining clips from the rear of the steering wheel with a piece of wire or screw driver. After 20 minutes of trying different methods I've got absolutely nowhere HELP
