Hi all

Recently I bought a 2015 Fabia Monte carlo 1.2 tsi. And upon purchase I noticed the steering wheel buttons were not working all I thought this might be a simple fix like a fuse but didnt realise they do not have fuses.

Anyways I've been looking at different forums and many people have said that the clock spring is at fault however they mention that their horn is not working and airbag light is on. This is not the case for me as when I start up the car there is no airbag fault and the horn is working fine. Can anyone help me as to what it is

Hi, welcome.

Some more info is required, which buttons some or all, is it just buttons or do you mean the wheel(s) instead or as well as.

You might perhaps need a multimeter and perhaps VW, and your model and year (or VIN), appropriate scan tool to diagnosis the issue(s) and a wiring diagram for your car.

Do you know if the steering wheel is factory original to the car.

Others will be along with more idea on this than me.

Good luck.

It's all of the buttons

Do you know if the steering wheel is factory original to the car.

You might perhaps need a multimeter and perhaps VW appropriate scan tool with an up to date program of your model and year (or VIN) tool and a wiring diagram to help diagnosis the issue(s) car.

Hopefully others will be along with more idea on this than me as I just can think or remember anything on this.

I'm not too sure if the wheel is original as I recently bought the car. If it isn't original how would I know and would the wheel need coding to the car?

This was only a long shot and might wrong.

If you put up a photo of the steering wheel some may know if it is original to a 2015 Monte Carlo - not me but I could try looking in the brochure we have form my wife buying her car second hand, it might give such detail it might not.

An appropriate scan tool could give a report or details which would/might help establish this or more importantly, with further checking and diagnosis, why the button aren't working.

I don't drive my wife's Fabia often and don't use the buttons other than the wheel to check the oil temperature (a better check and more accurate than the biased to show 90c coolant gauge reading) then back to digital speed reading than my wife wants showing, so I'm not familiar with the buttons and the car isn't here to try to wake my limited brain power on this subject (or any other).

HTH until someone else turns up here.
