  1. Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice regarding my 2012 Skoda Superb. I recently had to replace a broken ignition switch/barrel myself after a garage delay. Because the barrel was seized and wouldn't turn to position one, it was a difficult job that required a bit of "persuasion" with a grinder to get the old unit out. I successfully rebuilt the ignition and the car now starts perfectly. However, I have two issues: Airbag Light: This came on because I cycled the ignition while the airbag was disconnected. I know this needs an OBD2 reset (VCDS/OBDeleven). New Issue: After three days of driving, the horn and steering wheel media controls have stopped working entirely. I suspect I may have damaged the clock spring (squib) during the struggle to get the ignition housing off or during reassembly. My main questions are: Does this sound like a definite clock spring failure? Is this a job most independent garages can handle, or does it require specialized programming that only a main dealer can do? Thanks in advance for any help, Iain
