Polo 6C Clock spring replacement

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.

Lucky me, my dealership has all the parts in stock:

Next week I will change that.
