Both my 05 and 07 golf have behaved this way, I presumed it happened like this because they were retro fitted.

my green light is on if the cruise is in the "ON" position on the top rocker switch. And will stay on until i turn the rocker switch to off.

Both the GT and vRS are retrofit and behave differently.  As Stu says, due to the different coding required on the ECU, that could be the reason?? 

@ Stu, is it possible to recode the Golf (which is done via 11463) using the long coding method as I would prefer the light to come on only when the CC is activated?!

I didn't say it was to do with the ECU coding at all, you did!!   :signLOL:

I've said on several occasions it is due to variations in firmware on the dash insert (instrument cluster).

The ECU on the Golf TDi and the Octavia behave differently, you've coded them correctly.

I must have misinterpreted your meaning, sorry.....  :ashamed: 

Ah well I can live with the light, considering I have paid a grand total of 75 quid plus 8 cans on Guinness and now have cruise control in both cars!!  :party:
