Cruise Control retrofit

[seantdi]

so much easier to get it fitted. see what i mean. i didnt have the pain of fitting it

nor did i have the pain of handing out money to someone to do a simple job lol

Got some shots very simple really- ave fath in yourself lol

as i said its simple enough to do once ya get going at it..

Thanks again sean - do you know if Vagcom is needed to enable the cruise control or am I again wrong in thinking I have read somewhere on here that they can allready be enabled?

 

[seantdi]

no probs at all!! ya you will need vagcom to enable it.. it can be enabled on the tdi's before the stalk and loom are fitted. not sure if its the same on the petrol models do...its only a 2 min job to enable it with vag com

ok guys just been and done half a job

all disassembled
stalk fitted
wheel refitted
stalks plugged in

blue black wire to fuse 5

where the hell do the other 4 wires go?

blue/grey
red/yellow
black/white
white

Do you not have the manual that comes with it?

Hi guys,
Im thinking of getting the loom myself, im no car expert but i can follow guides etc, i dont however have a VAG COM, is it a simply thing to get a hold of? ANd has anyone found somewhere in the north east that do it to save me the hasstle??

 

[MarkWales]

all done just need vcds to activate it

ok so some pics I took when installing cruise control

New style stalk

firstly remove the light switch - push the handle in towards the front of the car and then turn to on and this releases the switch

remove the fuse box cover and then undo the securing bolts - I aslo removed the small fuse box from the outer frame

next I removed the lower section of the dash very easy this part

removing the lower dash exposed the hidden fuses (One for AndrewCpraTDI)

 

[MarkWales]

then the battery on my camera phone died so - will be fitting another one soon will get the rest about fitting the wiring removing the steering wheel and the wipers

Cruise Control not working

Can anyone offer any help?

Cruise bought from Kufotec and fitted by experienced cruise fitters. ECU updated and knows cruise activated and clutch and brake pedal also registering.

However when they took out to test it wouldn't engage, tried at various speeds but won't set.

Any ideas?

 

[m0rk]

Sounds like they've not done it right.

How I don't know... it's simple

 

[ijg1]

Any ideas what they could have done. If the ECU is giving the correct values....

 

[jgy6000]

Where is the best place to buy the complete kit? Vw teeside on eBay? £86 all in?

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

dont know but thought it was less than that , ?? and theres apart number for ther actual kit , not individual parts

 

[D3DNA]

I'm gonna do this later in the year as I now have to do a motorway troll each day

 

[jgy6000]

Just in the process of fitting this now, and it says to run the loom to the "engine control unit in the plenum chamber" where is it referring to?

Under the plastic cover that runs the width of the car covering the window wiper assembly. In the middle you will see 2 connections going into a smallish box, thats your ECU.
