I see no reason to take it to a Skoda dealership, it's a simple job that doesn't need coding afterwards or special tools.
Clock springs have been hard to get hold of recently (just like a lot of other stuff), maybe they just don't need the hassle of it sat waiting for the right part (the part numbers must match and there's a few different versions).

 

Thanks

 

The only way to know you have the right part number is to remove your clock spring.
To do this you'll need to remove the airbag and steering wheel (disconnect the battery for an hour beforehand) to gain access to the clock spring.

 

Right, that’s more than I’m comfortable with but thanks anyway.

 

For information to anyone who has this problem. I have been quoted £525 to replace and repair by a local auto electrician.
My local Skoda dealership won’t let me self diagnose the fault and want to charge £110 to run a diagnostic test and then the part from them will cost £310.25 (inc VAT) - if they agree that it is the clock spring, and then obviously there would be labour charges on top of that! I dread to think what that would come to 😕
