Guys,

I've been searching here and the net in general to find both the parts needed and fitting instructions on how to retro-fit this to my 02 plate Avant 1.9 130.
I'm getting mixed information from various sources and thought you guys would be the best to ask.

Thanks.

Here's my story when I fitted it last week......

Its pretty easy on the whole but like you I was a little confused at points but once you work through it you realise its quite simple after all!!

Where are you? If your anywhere near Andover in Hampshire i'd be more than happy to lend you a hand!

I'm pretty handy with car electronics, it's mainly the parts thats needed, I had a look on VAGParts and there's serveral different ones for about £30-£40 so I called them and they want £150 for it all!

Not local then lol! The website isnt too much help in fairness, giving them a call is always the best option as they know what they're talking about. B6 chassis A4's need to replace the steering control module which is the expensive part, £100 from vagparts or £120'ish from dealers! It just dosent work without this part so you've no choice but to buy the module if you want cruise control! Have a read of my picture story, if your still stuck give me a shout.
