View Full Version : Cruise Control: Not so much new as retreading

I have just bought a '92 2.8 100 Avant Quattro (c4) to replace an '95 2.8 A6 Avant Quattro (also c4). (The answer to the obvious question is much lower mileage on the 100)

The A6 has/had cruise control and trip computer

I realise that the trip is unlikely to be a goer but it occurs to me that the cruise control may be transferable.

I know that the older (1980s) cruise control systems are vacuum powered and as erratic as you like but I assume that the C4 would be electronic.

Given that I "have" the parts is it just a question of breaking it from the one really carefully and installing on the 100?

Is any of the wiring prerouted but not connected?

I realise people have done retrofits on much newer vehicles I just wondered whether anyone had any knowledge or ideas. Hell, wild guesses even

Many thanks in advance
