Please help, I have a similar issue with my 2017 Kodiaq. I've bought a replacement clock spring from Component authority - it has identical hardware no 5Q0953569A and software no 235 as the original clock spring, however I can't get it to accept the original longcoding (obdeleven). The supplier are adamant that the part is correct and just needs coding.
According to obdeleven the replacement part shows a different (lower) software number
Original part:
HW No: 5Q0953569A SW No: 5Q0953569A
Replacement part
HW No: 5Q0953569A SW No: 3Q0953521CS
Is the vendor correct and it's just a coding issue, or do I try and find another replacement part?
