RS Octavia DSG MY11 Clock Spring Control Unit Slip Ring

[elf237]

Hi,

Hope someone can help
I have the airbag light on and the steering controls dont work.
I had it scanned and they said it was the clockspring, but quoted me $1500 to fix!!!

I pulled the wheel off and the part number is 5KO953569B so im trying to find out which variant I can buy

Ross tech has the list of modules Steering Wheel Control Module Versions - Ross-Tech Wiki
Part Number 5K0-953-569

• MFD = Multi Function Display / Board Computer
• CCS = Cruise Control System
• ACC = Adaptive Cruise Control
• MFSW = Multi-Function Steering Wheel
• AT = Automatic Transmission (Ignition Key Lock)

From looking at this I need the highline with 'yes' in all columns. So it would be the 'B' which is the same or 'H' or 'T'

I found the 'H' here www.skodateile.cz

Can anyone shed some light on which version I can buy that will work?
And
Any other suggestions of where to buy it from?


Thanks

Clock springs were an issues in a number of cars due to dodgy airbags (separate to the Japanese issue of shrapnel in the face) I know lots of Hyundais had it with their supplier. Haven't heard of if in VAG cars. Might be worth checking it's not a known problem about to be recalled. Certainly I'd be gunning for it to be covered under good will as an airbag woukd be expected to last at least 10yrs.

Good luck with VW locally. Where are you based I got my Passat fixed for $400 - $1500 is. Joke

I reckon there is enough of a lawsuit waiting there that they should cover it under goodwill.

Good luck I have tried with VW before

For anyone looking for further information on this

Original part number was 5K0 953 569 B . I bought a 5K0-953-569-AL from ebay. It came from a russian seller for about $275 AUD shipped to Adelaide.
Also bought a Micro CAN cable from Ross tech to code the new module, which I will be selling soon.
All good - steering wheel controls work again and I cleared the airbag fault and now the airbag light is clear too. Happy days.
