MFSW buttons stopped working

[Andrew429]

So I searched around on the forum, only found one thread with like two replies, so this morning I got in my car and my steering wheel buttons were not working, also I have my car programmed so when I take out my key from the ignition my doors unlock, that didn't happen either, can this be related to the clock spring?

Hi Andrew, does the horn still work?

They started to work again that day after it sat for a couple hours. I ran a auto scan on it and it said implausible data received from steering wheel control module, I saved and cleared the code, haven't had a problem since

Oh right okay, I had a similar issue to you last weekend I researched into it quite a lot, but it's down to two things. One it may be one of the fuses and the other which had happened to me is when programming a feature into the car using vagcom you may have accidentally changed something. I had to recode the whole steering wheel (it was that bad I couldn't even access long coding helper?)

Isn't there a clock spring recall?

You should check with the dealer in this one, for me I would be more concerned if the air bag may not work if there was a problem.

I did call the dealer, there is no clock spring recall for my GTI, but if it does happen again I'm going to take it in
