Cruise control wiring loom

[adamss24]

Hi guys, does anyone know the part number for the cruise control wiring loom from stalk to ECU on a 2.5 tdi drive-by-wire 98 model ? I am atempting to retrofit cruise control to said car and local dealer is clueless ! Thanks.

Hmmm. No, but. I've been in my steering column a few times, by the looks of it, (and I may very well be wrong), it's not a seperate loom. It's part of the full colomn loom but on a column with cruise control. Know what I mean?

Yeah, i know but dealer used to retrofit CC to cars not fitted at the factory... I got the same answer from dealer (you need to purchase the whole wiring loom sir... mucho dinerros !) but i am looking for the seperate loom for b5 platform... I had a link once for the loom for a b5 passat but cannot find it at the moment (the stalk is different on a b5 passat though but the arm its the same.) If i cannot find it i will just make me own as its just a 5 wire loom, just need to go back to scrappy to fetch the right plug ! If anyone knows more, please chip-in ! Thank you all.

fitted it to my tdi a couple of months ago, bought harness from kufatec but it would be very easy to make yourself

Good luck... I've been checkin out Stinky's replacements. A3's and A4's, mostly without CC sadley. It's one of the things I value the most due to the mileage I do and have considered retro fitting myself. I'd be interested in how you get on. Keep us posted!

It's a ball ache job to fit. I retro fitted it to my old 2.8q. The biggest problem is getting the cable neatly ran to the ecu. I was basically upside down doing a reverse hand stand in the foot well with a pen tourch in my mouth, so I could get in and see where the wires needed to feed.

exactly. I did it on the S4 and it is an awkward job. Some guides say make the loom 18 inches long....no way..make it about 3 feet at least or it will never fit. Be careful taking off the steering wheel, airbag and clock spring, my clock spring broke and was a pain to get a new one.
