Thread: D4 clock spring

Heard of lots of D3 ones Graeme, but probably with there not being that many D4s out of warranty yet, there aren't many screaming about it yet.

A quick search on Disco3 has revealed nothing either.

Yes, mine worked intermittently about 6 months after I took delivery of the car (Oct 2011). Being intermittent, the dealer of course couldn't find any issue with it until I figured out I could make it work and fail by knocking on the steering wheel on top of the volume switch and to the left of it. The switch was replaced under warranty and has been working correctly since.

I just had both sides of my steering wheel buttons replaced.
They got awfully sticky, and became "clicky"
All good now.
Brett.....

I'm also having this problem on my D4:

Volume buttons sometimes not working / or even working in reverse (vol up = down volume)
Phone controls not working

Real problem though is its intermittent, no pattern to fault.

Due for a service this month, and I'm dreading the "we can't replicate the problem" line.....

Any ideas?

I'll try tapping near the switch. I might pull the wheel apart before ordering anything.

Tell them to replace the clock spring anyway.

Simmaus - sounds exactly like the problem I had. Volume working intermittently and phone controls on the steering wheel not working. Channel surfing buttons worked fine. As the dealer wasn't able to replicate the issue initially, I took a video of it so I could show them. Later I found I could make it fail/work by tapping so showed them when the car went in for service. They still maintained they couldn't replicate it after that but agreed there was an issue so replaced the switch. The part had to come from the UK so took a few weeks to arrive.

Hello All,

I have a MY11 SDV6 SE.
I had my Up/Down Volume Controls on the steering wheel play up every now and then in the first year.
I told the dealer at the next service and they just replaced the switch.
All been OK since.
