Cruise Control fitting guide

[DaveR77]

Just ordered one of the VW Cruise Control kits. Can anybody recommend a decent guide to fit it? ('07 model)

[shugyboi]

the instructions you get show its fairly straight forward. even programming it is simple. just need vag com or something similar to activate it

Has anyone got a good guide with pics?

[shugyboi]

you buying a brand new one still in box?

Not sure if this is helpful in any way but its not too hard to do...

You need to remove the airbag, Remove the Steering wheel, Swap out the stalk, plug everything back in then code it in using VCDS.

There is a cable that you sometimes need to fit but I think most cars already have it installed in the standard loom.

I am looking for a decent guide for this, I found one on the ukmkiv forum but it seemed far more involved than I expected, removing wind screen wipers etc......

I remember having one fitted on my MK4 and yes the wipers were removed and a panel accessed to plug in some wires (5 years ago now), but watching EDDIE_NL do it on my ED30 (For the sake of paying him £90 fitted) it was much easier and he did the work and coded it for me (best £30 spent on labour ever!).

Battery disconnected, Airbag and steering wheel removed, then plug in new stalk, battery re-connected, then steering wheel back on and airbag back on and then coding work done.

If anyone's in Staffs and wants this fitting to their car I'll do it for some beer tokens as I did mine at the weekend and now I know what I'm doing it's a doddle.

You also need a Torque wrench for tightening the steering wheel bolt back up to 50Nm.

Excellent guide, apart from the lack of explanation when releasing the clip on the module/steering column - it took me longer to figure that out than the rest of the job! 

As mentioned by MPS, now I've done it once I could do it again in record time, so if anyone in the Kent area needs assistance PM me.

Mine didn't come with instructions but as you say fairly straightforward to fit.

Regarding coding, can anyone tell what is required, is it a simple job that a VCDS owner would be able to do without instruction?

Here you go :)

That was on my caddy but should be pretty similar for the golf

Brillant that mate, can I just ask a couple of things though? 

When you go into 16 - Steering Wheel, will it show the current code?  As yours is now 000032, I presume your code was 000002 before you installed CC?  I only ask because looking through the Ross tech coding list, it is like double Dutch to me!  I have fiited the stalk only so I guess I will need code 3 -  Cruise Control System (CCS) with 4 Positions via Blinker Stallk installed? 

Hopefully I will not need any further coding after that as I have no warning lights.

Yes mine was 000002 before and then 000032 with the new cruise stalk.

then you have to do the activation code in the engine module.

and then if you have the steering angle fault then you need to reset that.
