Steering Wheel Problems

Steering wheel angle sensors and/or the clock spring (the black cassette unit attached behind the wheel) can develop permanent faults that usually can only be rectified by replacing the entire wheel.

Warning lights on the dash are usually the amber ABS and Traction Control lights being permanently on although if the ribbon cable inside is damaged it can also show up as an airbag or horn fault. Unfortunately on pre-2007 smarts and roadsters the clock spring cannot be purchased separately hence the need to change the whole wheel. This can cost up to £1,100 depending on the type of wheel including fitting and re-programming (where necessary).

Digitec offers an unique service for these pre-2007 698cc smarts which actually repairs your existing wheel with a brand new clock spring from just £430 (depending on the wheel).

For owners of the newer 451 model smart you will be glad to know that they now offer a replacement unit at around £180 plus fitting and programming so costs will be substantially reduced for these models.

All prices are inclusive of parts, labour and VAT where applicable.
