Valeo Service has launched 14 new steering column switches and four clockspring and steering angle sensors specifically designed for Mercedes models.

Valeo is a pioneer in column switches technology and these new to range parts reflect the company’s specialism in this area. New to range for early 2017, the 14 steering column switches cover a number of models in the Mercedes vehicle range including: A-Class, B-Class, C-Class mk1, C-Class mk2, CLK, E-Class, Sprinter, Vaneo, and Vito mk2.

Meanwhile the new clockspring and steering angle sensors cover C-Class mk2, A-Class, B-Class, Sprinter, A-Class, B-Class, C-Class mk2 and CLK.

With the clockspring enabling the steering wheel to turn while maintaining the electrical connection between the steering wheel’s electrical systems, such as the airbag, it is a vital piece of equipment and is located between the steering wheel and steering column switch.

There are a total of 280 part numbers in the Valeo column switches range including 130 complete modules covering a wide European vehicle parc, ensuring all customer requirements are met.

Switches play a key role in driver safety and therefore it is advised that OE quality parts are used in their replacement. Valeo’s range is 100 percent OE.
