Direct Fit for Volkswagen Models
Based on compatibility research, this clock spring fits the following vehicles [citation:2]:

Make	Model	Years	Notes
Volkswagen	Passat B6	2006–2010	2.0T / 3.6L / 4Motion [citation:2]
Volkswagen	CC	2009–2012	2.0T / VR6 / 4Motion [citation:2]
Volkswagen	Magotan	2007–2012	Chinese market, Passat B6 platform [citation:1]

Key Functions
The clock spring maintains continuous electrical connection between the steering wheel and vehicle systems, enabling [citation:2][citation:4]:

✅ Airbag (SRS) system – critical safety component
✅ Horn operation
✅ Steering wheel audio controls (if equipped)
✅ Cruise control switches (if equipped)

Note: On some models, the clock spring works with the steering angle sensor and may throw faults in that system if not properly installed or matched [citation:2]. After installation, the steering angle sensor may require calibration using a diagnostic scanner [citation:3][citation:7].

Signs of Failure
A faulty clock spring may exhibit the following symptoms [citation:3][citation:4][citation:7]:

⚠️ Airbag warning light illuminates on dashboard
📢 Horn does not function
🎛️ Steering wheel-mounted controls become unresponsive
🚨 In critical cases, driver airbag may not deploy in a collision [citation:4]

⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE & INSTALLATION TIPS

Before Installation: Disconnect the battery negative terminal and wait at least 5 minutes for the airbag system to discharge [citation:3][citation:6].

Centering: Ensure front wheels are perfectly straight. The new clock spring comes with a centering clip – do NOT remove this clip until the clock spring is fully installed and the steering wheel is in position. Rotating the clock spring without the clip can damage the internal ribbon cable [citation:3][citation:7].

Installation Steps: Remove steering wheel, disconnect old clock spring, install new unit ensuring proper alignment, reconnect all electrical connections [citation:1][citation:6].

Sensor Calibration: After installation, the steering angle sensor may require calibration using a diagnostic scanner (VCDS/ODIS) to clear fault codes and ensure proper system function [citation:3][citation:7].

Verification: Always verify that the replacement part matches your original in connector type and pin configuration. Professional installation recommended [citation:3][citation:8].

Post-Installation: After installation, verify horn function, steering wheel controls, and ensure the airbag warning light extinguishes correctly [citation:3][citation:7].
