I'm looking forward to seeing the step by step photo How To.

For reference I am paying £190 at the local VW garage as they where the only people where I live who said "yes we do that" with out umming and erring, like the independent VW specialist round my way did when I asked them.

Phoned the dealers in Teesside area for a price as I will soon have a Passat TDI

Got a price of £150 5 mins back. Some were @ £195

1 dealer said no as it had to be done when car was new

I paid £300 to have cruise fitted to my 130Tdi Sport (one of the very last B5.5 sold new in the UK I should think...........) This was done at VW Warrington. It seems, from reading some posts on here, that I paid well over the odds. However, I am constantly on the motorway and just could not have a car without cruise, so at least I am getting my "money's worth" out of it.

PS, a lot of VW dealerships said cruise could not be fitted to my car unless it was done as a factory-fit item...... Ho-hum.......

Pays to ask.

Just back from talking to Emma on service reception @ Lookers Teesside to see if they could price match the £150 quote and I'm now getting cruise for £129.95 all in fitted next week

It's fitted, and what's even better is it cost less @ £126.50 all in

Sounds a darned sight better than taking off the steering wheel!

Nice one

Looks like we all need to move to Teeside.
Cruise control for £126.50, a dealer who charges less than they quote, PRICELESS !

Hows the cruise control?
Thinking of getting my 130 tdi done.
No problems I assume with the dealers service???

great service ,

even got a new plastic trim below the wipers after we debated whether or not they had broken it whilst getting to the ecu. I just bought the car 10 days earlier and gave it a real going over as I''d traveled 200 miles to buy it and this item was definatley not broken.

Oh and the cruise hasn't missed a beat either
