New Cruise Control

[Deleted member 33999]

Just got back from having cruise control fitted at Unit18.

It's awesome!

Stuck it at 70 (ish) and cruised all the way.... Managed a very neat 55mpg from my 1.9Tdi (PD100)

I would like to give a MASSIVE thanks to Ross at Unit18 for a perfect fitting and fantastic service. Worked first time, perfectly. There was even a cuppa provided at no extra cost!

If anyone else is interested I'm sure he won't mind me pointing you at the website http://www.unit18.co.uk

I can highly recommend him!

how much?

I think it might depend on your car, but mine was sub £200 (I'd rather not say exactly )

I'm sure if you drop Ross an email he could give you quote

Hmmmm, might have to look into this as it would be a usefull addition. How long did it take to fit?

It took about 1 1/2 hours ish, but it's a worthwhile addition to the car. Soooo nice to to flip a switch and let the car maintain. I set it a 55 and on the running MPG it was between 63 and 66 mpg!! But I topped it up to 70 and managed to get 55 average.

It's also a great help if you have a heavy foot, especially in those average speed camera areas... I had it working down to 25Mph, but I haven't really had time to play in different speed areas yet.

If you do any amount of motorway driving, you'd be daft NOT to get it added!

There is no way I'm ever owning a car that doesn't have CC in the future.

Glad your happy

I had mine fitted by Ross and, as said previously, he's done a great job.

Would you be willing to give a quote techie? (130 tdi 52 plate)

£180 supplied and fitted.

Just need to check your Boardnetz ECU (instructions in the FAQ) but I suspect yours is fine.

And need to know if you have MFA or not (I suspect you do )
