Fitting cruise control

[David Dunderdale]

Hi i was wondering if anyone knows how easy it is to fit cruise control such as AUDI A3 CRUISE CONTROL/WIPER STALKS 8L0953513J | eBay.

In the current state the car does not have cruise control but I am guessing all the wiring would be built in just not attached the stalk?

Any able to comment on this?

Thanks!

You need the wiring loom(s) as only the TDi's come with one of the ones you need IIRC... you will also need VCDS or a dealer to enable cruise control on the ECU

Just get this kit..
Audi TT A3 1.8T - Retrofit Cruise Control Kit | eBay

Comes with a new stalk and the wiring looms plus instructions... got the same kit myself...

You have to remove the airbag/steering wheel and drivers side lower dash panel... you then need to run one of the looms to the ECU and push the pre-fitted terminals into the ECU plug...

I bought and had this kit fitted the other day when my car was serviced. Works really well.

Going to do this next. With a new steering wheel.

Same, but what a pig of a job wiring in the loom to the ECU, my ar5ehole was twitching like a rabbits nose!!!

I did the mod on a MK4 Golf GTTDI, Real easy to follow instructions, done in 90 mins. Saves your legs and fuel!
By the way I got a genuine retro kit from TPS (Trade Parts Specialists) for £60, dont pay over the odds on ebay.

Hope this helps

its alot easier on mkiv golfs because most of the loom is already in place... its about a 4 hour job on an s3 if your a cruise virgin.

I had this done a Awesome, was something like £100 parts and labour.
One of the better OEM mods, use it every day.

Is there a guide on how to do it?

EDIT: Just found this link on the ebay auction tufty posted, its for a mk4 golf though.

 

[S3 Tim]

The kit comes with instructions

I had mine done by Hazydayz. Took them about an hour and was about £130 from memory. A worthwhile mod especially now we have huge chunks of motorway roadworks with 50mph SPECs enforced limits.

would this work on my agu drive by wire?

AGU is drive by cable mate so no, this cruise control won't work on yours...

I also had my cruise control fitted at Awesome-Gti. £100 + vat supplied and fitted. It took them just over an hour to do. Great service and little demo on completion. Highly recommended.

Great recommendations. Ordered last night.

I want to do this.. But drive a maximum of 10miles a week... so kind of pointless for me

Was yours easy to do <tuffty/>? I've got an APY S3, do I need extra looms and Vag-Com too?

Would that work on BAM engines?

Hi Jimgrim77, can you recommend someone in Bristol area to fit a cruise control on
A3 auto 2005?

Hi guys,

Ive got an Audi a3 8l 1.9TDI.

Am i correct in thinking that as its a TDI i only need the stalk and all wiring for crusie control will already be present?

Thanks

 

[Chlippo]

I think the ebay listing doesnt exist anymore. If someone can confirm or re-post the link
