;) Hello Peeps,
A while ago I asked if anyone could help me with the location of a retro fit cruise control for my t4 tdi. well Thanks to the members that pointed me to VAG Parts, I contacted them and bought the kit for just under £60 delivered. It only took about 1/2 an hour to fit, quite easy once you have the steering wheel off, Just replace the original indicator stalk with the new one with the cruise control and put it all back together. The plug on the cc kit simply plugs into a connector on the wiring harness, this was found to be up behind the relay and fuse board, this board can be easily removed from its housing and dropped down to enable access to the loom, once you have found the counter part to the plug just plug in and you're away... Well thats not quite true, The cruise did not work and reading on through the supplied paperwork, It does tell you that the on board computer might need a code inputting to enable this. It took me a week or so but I did find a "non main agent" who was willing to do this for a "drink":beerchug:
It took him about 5 minits to plug in the VAG service computer to the T4 and input the code supplied. Woo hoo, I now have Cruise control on my big yellow ex AA van and its great.
Any one who would like to know more, please ask and I will try to help.
Cheers and Beers. Squelchy

Hello L.
I bought the kit ( Stalk) from the V A G on line shop as listed on this forum, Sorry but I dont have the details to hand as the invoice is away with my accountants. Its easy to fit and it does come with the code (s) but as stated in my post " you will need either a main agent" or a competant VW specialist to interagate the on board computer and enter the codes to switch on the cruise control. Hope this helps, Squelchy, ( Rob)

Hi Rob, thank you for the reply.

I will check out the online shop. I wasnt sure where to get the code from that was the main concern. I have a rosstech cable with vag.com so should be able to activate it.

thanks again.
