DIY Cruise control

[zub-gti]

Guys,

Trying to install my cruise control to 2006 GTi.

Installed the stalk and had it coded however don't have a clue where additional black wire goes.

I know its between the control module and the ECU but what pins etc.

As per the http://wiki.ross-tech.com/index.php/Cruise_Control_Retrofitting_(1K)#Installation_.26_Wiring link.

I have the Slip Ring: 1K0-959-653-C with the midline trip computer, so unless i'm unfortunate enough to have the 1K0-953-549-BC module the wire should get it working....

Can someone please help.

All help very much appreciated.,

Z

I'll dig out the schematics from Elsa later as reinstalling desktop, but it does say the steering ecu pin on the RT wiki, check your steering ecu to see if that wire is already present, also on the A3 the wire goes to the area by the wiper motor/plenum because it is present from the main ecu to a connector under that area.

Here is some more info from an AS thread to read in meantime.

Didnt your cruise kit come with the full guide as most kits do have a guide which are usually very good or did you buy the loom seperately from the stalk & get stalk from VW?

Does the wire you have have the correct pins on the end or is it bare wire, also how long is this wire cause this would help determine if its same location of the A3, same platform so shouldnt be far of, but for sure when I get into Elsa later I can confirm this.

You only need the black/white wire for early cars (before late 05 normally).  It is fitted between the steering controller and the scuttle connectors.

Thank you very much for your reply..

Mine is a 55 plate car so should be OK,

I can't check the wire is currently there, but will get the technician who installed the stalk to check, he's also going to stick in another control module to see if that fixes the issue, but i don't want to have to go spending £130 for a control module when fitting the wire would have cured it.

The stalk came with a guide but the technician lost it when he was fitting the stalk, so now i don't have it... i'll see if i can get it back. The wire came in the kit with the stalk and instructions.

Yes, wire has the correct pins pre crimped on the ends. Its 89mm long

Thanks,

If your car is GTi then I doubt you need a new controller.  Get your man to look for a Black/White wire on the back of the steering controller, IIRC it's pin 12 or 13 but I'd have to check, it matters not though as it's the only Black/White wire there.

If you don't have it then you'll need to run it.  Pop back and I'll dig out the pin locations for you.

If it's not the wire then I'd suggest it's a coding issue, how competant is your man?  Coding the TFSi is not like coding a TDi.

That was helpful of him, lol.

Stu I dont have elsa up atm so if you could help I also would appreciate it mate as been stuck on something else & not had chance to reinstall, but I think further up the post there is a reference in the RT wiki to T20/13 as the pin on the steering module.

Other end I dont know without checking aswell when get elsa up, sorry will do asap unless Stu is able to beforehand.

Thanks.

[vRStu]

Yes I have the details here -

T20a/13 on the steering controller.
T12d/04 on the scuttle connection. (Blue)

Thanks for all your help.. I'm sure this will help someone in the future.
