Hi,

 

I've searched this and other forums extensively but cannot find an answer.

 

Bought my first Yeti 5 weeks ago (2015 150hp DSG 4x4 SE L).

 

The right hand roller-wheel that scrolls through the MFD menu works intermittently. It seems to work better when the car is cold or certainly for the first 30 minutes or so. ALL other functions work and there are no faults displayed on the dash etc. I've tried it with the steering wheel in different positions but this makes no difference (it doesn't create the fault or get rid of it).

 

So, before I order the complete steering wheel control set here: steering wheel control button set left & right 

would VCDS or similar show which component or set of components are failing? i.e, the clockspring/squib or the MFD roller-wheel itself?

 

Thanks for reading!

A clockspring/squib issue would effect all buttons as it's a shared connection.

 

It's much more likely to be a roller-wheel issue, probably some dust or lint that's got into the mechanism (it's an optical sensor). I'd be tempted to remove the buttons, open them and give them a clean first

Thanks for replying so quickly.

 

I wasn't sure if just one of the no doubt many wires in the squib could fail.

 

It has occurred to me to do what you suggest but wary of leaving myslef carless if I mess up the removal of the airbag etc. Maybe an aerosal compressed air spray directed in the gaps would work...
