What this part does
The clock spring sits directly behind the steering wheel and maintains a continuous electrical connection to the driver's airbag, horn, and steering wheel controls while the wheel is turned. It contains a tightly coiled flat ribbon cable that winds and unwinds to accommodate the full range of steering motion. When this component fails or the internal cable snaps, it typically triggers an airbag (SRS) warning light, disables the steering wheel buttons, or causes the horn to stop functioning.

Before you order
You must match the part number 7P5953507FJ exactly to your original unit. The Volkswagen Auto Group (VAG) platform utilizes multiple steering column modules depending on the exact equipment options installed (such as heated steering wheel or specific driver assistance features). Installing a module with a mismatched suffix will result in missing functions.
When installing, ensure that both the vehicle's road wheels and the steering wheel are perfectly centered. Turning the steering wheel while disconnected or installing the unit off-center will instantly snap the internal ribbon cable upon reaching full steering lock. This module houses the steering angle sensor and will require calibration using a PIWIS or VCDS diagnostic tool to clear traction control faults and properly initialize the system after installation.
