Hello everyone, I own a mk5 golf that came standard with a 4 spoke and lowline cluster (not even outside temp, only milage and time lol). I bought a 1K0-959-653-C slip ring, 1K0-953-549-BD controller, MFSW and a highline 1K0-920-873B cluster. I installed the slip ring, controller and MFSW. Did the basic settings and some coding via vcds and everything worked fine for a couple of days. Then out of nowhere a steering wheel and esp light turned on. The wheel had no steering assist, was hard and wouldnt return back to the center on its own. After driving a bit the steering assist started working and the lamp went away, but esp remained on until i turned off and on the car. Now that issue happens randomly, sometimes during driving but most of the time when the car has been sitting for a while (like a couple of hours or overnight). During driving when it happens i can feel the steering assist coming back to life by a shake, like trying to return the wheel to center for a split of a second. I did do the basic settings when i replaced the slip ring, i tried loads of things but it keeps happening randomly. Did i do something wrong when installing? Did i miss something? I have no idea.
I did look up this issue and people said if the slip ring was bad then the MFSW buttons wouldnt work, but they do. At least the ones on the left to control the headunit. The ones on right dont cause i still havent installed the highline cluster. But thats a story for another time, gonna need to see what app i need to use to get it paired to the car lol
