Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Went to change my steering week and when i went to remove my airbag, I removed the yellow connector on the airbag and the connector broke. My question is should I buy a used clock spring from ebay, a new clock spring or repair my connector? Would love to hear what others think. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

It would certainly seem attractive to grab a used one - $50 vs. $250. If you do, be aware there is a difference between manual and tip. Removed correctly, the rotation position should have been also been preserved.

POST 3Original post

Yep...a used one is just fine. I've bought a few on ebay when retrofitting a 3 spoke 996 wheel to my 968 and 944.

POST 4Original post

Post a pic of the broken connector. Might be salvageable.
