I have a 1999 built, 2000 registered B5 2.5tdi. My ECU is a few months too old to be remapped. I have a tuning box on the pump, gives it more power, and driven sensibly I have had 52MPG on a 200 mile round trip (Perth-Ayr and back).
I can't get my cruise control to work, I wired it up, switched it on with VCDS, the inputs all show for pedals, on off etc.
Could I swap the ECU from a newer B5 to get it (a) remapped and (b) hopefully get cruise to work?
Anything I may have missed with the cruise control, all I have done is as above. No other modules, boxes or anything to connect to or fit?
 
Later ECU's will use IMMO3, and IIRC trying to pair an IMMO3 ECU into an IMMO2 cluster doesnt work. You could have the IMMO deleted from the newer ECU i guess.

The cruise needs enabled in the ECU using VCDS.
