This is a genuine VAG clockspring, part number 1J0959653C. The clockspring, also known as a spiral cable or slip ring, is a critical component located within the steering column. It allows electrical connections to be maintained between the steering wheel and the vehicle's electrical systems, even as the steering wheel turns. This component is essential for the proper operation of various steering wheel functions, including the airbag, horn, and steering wheel controls (such as audio and cruise control buttons). A malfunctioning clockspring can lead to the failure of these safety and convenience features, often indicated by warning lights on the dashboard or the horn and airbag not working. Replacing a faulty clockspring with a genuine VAG part ensures compatibility and reliability, restoring the intended functionality of your vehicle's steering wheel electronics. Proper installation by a qualified technician is recommended to ensure safety and correct operation.
