I already have cruise so just out of interest, why the different parts for a saloon or avant?

I assumed Audi would keep differences to a minimum for cost savings and I can't see why they'd be different ?

Also is it any changes that can be make permanent by a visit to the dealer or just this?

Cruise comes as a complete set of stalks now so avant needs rear window washer

Aha ! That also explains the price now.

Just to complete the story on this issue:
Today Hazzy Dayz fitted the cruise control at my home address. Fitting was delayed due to bad weather before Xmas.
The result works perfectly - all genuine parts - and was fitted by their mobile Technician in one hour. Total cost for home fitting £314 - and despite claims that Audi dealers would match the price, I did not find one which came anywhere near.
Hazzy Dayz are based somewhere around Luton, but the Technician had just been to Cardiff Audi. Apparently they are specialists in some of the tricky electrical jobs Audi dealers don't feel able to manage themselves! Seems like a pretty competent company to me.

Sorry, that's incorrect dealers work to manufacturers standard and if the manufacturer tells them not to retro fit x,y or z ie (bluetooth etc) then they don't.Dealer price up north for cruise fitted £250 with full valet and courtesy car if required.

For the benefit of others, particularly in the North, please advise which Dealer offers such a price for retro fitting cruise control to a B8 model A4.
I tried JCT600 based in Bradford who quoted £480.
The cheapest quote I obtained from a dealer was from Leicester Audi.
Unit £134.31
Steering column shroud £25.78
Fitting £168.02.
Total with VAT £393.73.

If you have better information, please share for others benefit.
