cruise control resume function a bit limp?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hurdy:
I had cruise as a factory fit option. I agree with what (I think!) you are saying.

The cruise has never applied full throttle on resume for me although it seems plenty to get you back to speed. I would have thought that this would have been a safety feature as you don't want full throttle when resuming an 80mph cruise from a resume speed of 30mph = recipe for disaster.

I would have thought that VAG-COM would allow you a certain amount of flexibility of the throttle application function on resuming cruise, but it could be embedded as a safety function. :confused:

vRStu:
I don't know of anyway to increase the ramp rate.

WhiteGTI:
Yeah I've always thought this...It takes so long to get back up to the previous speed! Its definitely not like BMW's or Chrysler's (I rented one in America a few years ago), which when you press resume they absolutely rocket up to the required speed!

john_o:
Cheers for all the feedback  :happy2:
at least I'm not going mad (just yet!), shame it cant be adjusted.

Steve Baker:
We had factory fit cruise on our Ed 30 and also on our GT 170 (diesel).
The diesel seems to accelarate harder upon resume than the edition 30 unless it's in too higher gear BUT as the Ed has DSG it will kick down as many gears as necessary to give fairly rapid accelaration  :laugh: on resume!  :surprised:
