Cruise Control Fitted :))

[MagicFR]

Very happy after having my cruise control fitted!!!!

The 150miles return journey in the fog was very easy and going through average speed cameras is now also a lot easier.

Got it done at www.unit18.co.uk or in other words at our resident VW mechanic

Ross - many thanks mate for the great service!!!

How much did it cost?

I would fancy this as well......if the price was right.

Yes please... this is one mod I am seriously thinking of!

Deffo worth it, I use mine all the time as I love having both eyes on the road rather than one eye on the speedo needle.

I wouldn't want a car without it now.

i have it as standard



i dont no what i would do without it either.

Its not possible to retrofit to all models but its pretty easy to find out if you can or not.

Thanks to Moses for coming to see us at the unit, glad we could help.

had mine in my FR since April a week after getting the car, cost me £80 for stalk and cables, and a case of beer for my dad for fitting!

he also fit it to my mam's 08 plate 1.2! he had to swap a part out of my bro's 02 plate 1.2 to get it to work though, i'm sure the techie would know what that was!

i use the cc for every journey at some point, even the 5 mile twisty road drive to work, i just think using it the car will use what fuel it needs to to get there rather than me over or under compensating and wasting fuel.

I can have a good guess what it was Mark. It seems most of the newer cas have that now which is a shame.

i really want CC fitted might buy it for my xmas present LOL!
i've looked at pic's of the new stalks and they have the button on the right stalk for using the MPG thing. ( i'm guessing thats what that is)

is there any way of getting that to work aswell ?

Remember that cruise control does what it says on the tin (controls your cruising speed) nobody ever said it is designed to give super fuel consumption but whilst controling your cruising speed it does quite a good job with the MPG. (better than the average driver could be bothered to try and get)

Where did you get yours done? How much?

If you don't have the MFA computer you would need a new dash insert plus wiring.

Cruise stalks can be provided with or without MFA controls.

However stock levels of the stalks are pretty low, I guess this is due to the fact not many Ibiza or Polo models had cruise from factory. Both sporadically go on back order.

I heard this was a very pricey mod unless you are one of the people above who got a friend or family member to do it cheap.

 

[techie]

My rates are pretty competative

 

[Aimez]

great you are about 5 hours drive away!

 

[techie]

Probably not that much longer than it took Moses to come from Manchester, but he did indeed.

 

[mrcoyote]

My rates are pretty competative

I can attest to that. Well worth the trek even if he is a fair distance away.

even after paying for diesel to get there, prob works out after that the same to pay a rip off dealership price.
