can any body tell me how the cruise control on a 1998 alhambra tdi works and what i would need to check to get mine working it hasnt worked since i bought the car and the trader i got it from keeps stalling about getting it sorted which makes me think this could be something expensive to sort :confused:
Have you got access to diag equipment, i.e VAG COM?
You can check all the inputs and switch functions with it.
Failing that have a look at your switches on the pedals, if your brake lights are working then id say its probably the clutch switch that has failed and cancelling the cruise.

i have checked the clutch switch with pedal up no voltage on both pins to earth with pedal pressed down 12volts on 1 pin and nothing on the other would this be working correctly
iirc teh early alhambra had problems with the cable control box under the bonnet usually scrap !! sorry
