FAQs

Q1. What exactly is a clock spring (also called a squib cable) and what is its role?
A clock spring (aka spiral cable or squib cable) is a spiral-wound multicore flat cable assembly located between the steering wheel and steering column. It allows the wheel to turn while maintaining electrical connections to systems such as the airbag, horn and steering wheel buttons.

Q2. Which vehicles is this particular clock spring compatible with?
This version is designed to fit certain VW Group models including Seat Ateca, Skoda Octavia, VW Crafter, VW Golf, VW Passat, Passat Alltrack, T-Roc and Tiguan. However, you should always verify your vehicle’s VIN, steering wheel type and part number to ensure exact match.

Q3. What symptoms indicate that the clock spring may be faulty and needs replacing?
Typical signs include: the airbag warning light appears on the dashboard, the horn stops working, steering-wheel buttons (audio, phone, cruise) don’t function, or there is a persistent error code related to airbag/steering angle/controls.

Q4. Is installing a new clock spring straightforward and does it require special tools or calibration?
Installation involves removing the steering wheel and airbag module, fitting the new clock spring correctly (ensuring it is centred and locked before removal of any transport pins), then reconnecting all wiring. Because the airbag circuit is involved, battery disconnection and safety precautions are vital. After installation you may need to reset the steering-angle sensor or clear airbag fault codes.
