Thank you SO much for this clear, articulate video. I have a 2015 Passat and a couple things looked a little different during my repair (the pins of the air bag were a sneaky variety), but your video made it possible for my dad and I to accomplish this task together.
your welcome here to help.
wow there is free warranty service for these hope your repair holds up
I replaced the one on my wife's '11 Passat, but needs to be reprogrammed with an original VAG computer online.
I have an appointment tomorrow with a VW mechanic, he has such a scanner. I'll keep you guys posted.
ok thank you. let us know how that goes.
What was the outcome?
@@wiltongriffin Was reprogrammed and all good. Needs to be done on the original VAG system.
steering wheel bolt looks like a triple square. Mine was a 12mm. It will not be a fun day if you strip out a triple square with a torx.
i needed to replace clock spring on my 2013 Tiguan and i called local VW dealer for parts and what it would cost for them to program it after i install the part. This doesn't happen often but got great news....vw dealer advised that parts and labor to replace the clock spring is 100% covered by the dealer. so i called another dealer to verify they told me the same ( i scheduled an appointment for 01/03, ) . They advised that the clock spring warranty has been extended. this was a nice surprise. please check with your dealership prior to purchasing and replacing your clock spring. they said that as long as your mileage is lower than 999,999 you are covered. that's what their warranty shows. basically all cars are covered.
I did not know this thanks for the insight on this. This is great news now it is easier for people to get it done at the dealer.
There was a recall for Passats and Tiguans, that's what you mean. Sadly I'm in Mexico and this didn't happen :( great video though
@@ericklopezalvarez1253 hey but see if you can give it a try and see if it works.
When releasing the airbag, don't pull down on the plastic tabs, use your flat head to move the metal tabs in towards the steering column. The factory service manual depicts the screwdriver on the plastic tabs, which is wrong. Took me a bit of frustration to figure that out!
nice work. im a fleet mechanic on F59 chassis. i don't even work on VW I'm not sure how I ended up here in the youtube abyss
This video is a great explanation, my only question is why did you put a new airbag in too. Did you suspect yours to be faulty?
no it's because the guy who I bought it from sold it to me in a set. so I was like I will but the clock spring n air bag the came off the same car.
What scares me is putting the two little tabs that you have to press upwards to take off.Was that difficult to put back on?
no it was not difficult it just took a little time.
Just replaced on a 2017 passat video was 👍, I still don't have paddle shifting, Cruise control and airbag light is on.
My question is can I do this with a scanner or should I go 2 dealer to have synced/programed.
now all you have to do is just to get a scanner and hard clear the code and you should be good to go after that.
Thank you so much for this video! Same thing is happening with my Passat (buttons & horn don’t work) but the OBD reader is aging it lost connection with the steering wheel control module …is that still it or the clock spring is part of it ?
the clock spring was the problem in mine. but the dealership has a tool that can recalibrate it after your change it.
Hi, thanks for the great video. I was looking for the other video where you check the fuses and relays. Thanks
hey no problem man.... the video that you are looking for is crazy electrical problems.
@@weerebuildz4427 Thanks bro
@@HistoryNerd1920 no problem
This was great. Thank you!
I just replaced my steering wheel with with a quick release (VW PASSAT 2015) and I have everything hooked back up correctly, except for the horn, I just need to know the wiring for it to connect, I have everything I need. I was hoping you pointed out the horn wires but its okay, just hoping you reply to comments too
There are some horn wires on the left and right on the car behind the front bumper. If you need more help just contact me on wee rebuildz on Instagram.
Did this same thing and the traction light and tire light came on, what did you do to fix that?
I had to take it vw because I did not have the scanner that could fix that
Very helpful, thank you!!
No problem
Where did you get the mew clock spring at ?
someone had a wreaked vw Passat and I bought it from them.
I need one for a cc any thoughts
@@carolrice5321 u can check some junk yards but some times when the air bag goes off it can damage the clock spring so I can work or not. and you can check on eBay too.
We replaced the clockspring, but did you have trouble with your cruise control not working?
no I did not have any issues with that. take it to the dealer I think they have a tool to program it back to the car.
Im needing to do this on my 2010 passat.. did you replace just clock spring?? Or clock spring and Airbag?
I just replace the clock spring but you will need to get the clock spring program back to the car.
Im pretty sure this is the issue with my passatt would this issue affect changing gears manually?
no it will not affect that.
Yes, if your clock spring is bad your paddle shifters will not work as they are attached to the steering unit
Gonna try this on my car
could i replace the clock spring and then take the car to a mechanic so they could clear the code for me?
yes you can be see if they have the tools to do it. and some times you may have to take it to the dealer to recalibrate the clock spring.
"Please note that this part is not plug & play and you need to perform a basic adjustment with a diagnostic machine after assembly and before use, otherwise it may cause damage to the part and it will not work."
I'm reading this on the sellers page, any reason to be concerned?
its like the code to reset the clock spring back to the car and u would just put a special type of scanner on the car and you turn it all the way left and right and in the center and it would take of traction light .
@@weerebuildz4427 Ok, I think I'm following.
Basically, I need to get a "Specail type of scanner" that'd be a VAG-COM scanner? Not just any high-end OBD II scanner?
Then I suppose I'd just need to clear the code(s), assuming I put the airbag slip ring in properly centered.
I guess I could rent a ross-tech vcds scanner i.e.

Still waiting for the part to arrive in shipping, will keep you posted on my progress.
Thanks for a great video.
@@martinolsson5239 yea thats all you will need to do because some of the cars will want you to do like a test and then u will be good and the clock spring will be programed to the car
Always fixing shit🤣🤣🔥🔥
Good man, thank you.
no problem
So would this work the same for a 2007 Passat?
it would be little different
Did you disconnect the battery first remember that's an airbag in front of you
I did disconnect the air bag
Yes, the video shows him disconnecting the battery.
If you are getting ready to do this, make sure to call a VW dealer first. There is an extended warranty for these cars. And the dealer will replace it for free in most cases.
Hey man could I ask you some questions about this?
yea wat kinda questions do you have. you can dm me at wee rebuildz on instagram
@@weerebuildz4427 Thanks Wee! Going to message you now
Thanks for the video for real
no problem my pleasure.
Great video love it. I have same problem with my seat altea xl. Can u tell me that buying 2nd hand part is worth ? Thanks
yea some times it is honestly but I all so look for how much it would be brand new and if there is a big price difference I normally go with a use one. and just look at the part to see how clean it look and u can make a choice from there.
@@weerebuildz4427 Thank you very much bravo
@@arshadmahmood8050 Your welcome
I have a question I have the same problem in my 2012 passat nothing works on the Steering wheel and the air bag light is also on.
my question is I only have to buy the clock spring and not the airbag?
yea you only need to buy the clock spring because the airbag is connected to the clock spring. so you only need to buy the clock spring .
@@weerebuildz4427 Thank you brother, your video helped me a lot because when that happened the airbag light in the on the dash we thought it was the airbag module and I sent it to a company to fix it then the module arrived, we connected it and the problem The light continued, then I realized that something was wrong because nothing was working on the buttons of the Steering wheel, I looked at you and I saw your video and it gave me the light I needed .... thank you brot I appreciate it a lot
@@jb18475 lol thanks, no problem happy to help.
Will the air bag light be on too
yes the air bag light will be on. ur gonna need a good obd2 scanner that can clear the code and then ur good.
Thank you , saved me money 💰
