Title: Cruise control retrofit in the London area?
Post by: Rukz on February 06, 2015, 08:28:25 pm
Hi all,

I recently got myself a 05 MK5 gti. It has "a lot" of the options I want but one of the essentials it doesn't have is cruise control.

Is there anyone in the London area who can retrofit this for me? If so prices I could expect to pay and no doubt there'll be a bunch of other stuff I'd be tempted to do in the near future.

 :smiley:

Whereabouts in London are you raz? And I also have a set of xenons I'd like fitted and coded would you be able to do that? I have the adapters.

Hi Ed,

I was under the impression if you could get a number of jobs in London then you would make the trip, not just for myself. I wouldn't mind either of you guys Raz or yourself doing retrofits for me...  :smiley:

@Eddie-NL (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2345) I'm genuinely interested in having CC fitted  :happy2:

I would be interested in a midline to highline upgrade, but I am a novice and have no idea on costs and the difficulty of the job. Is this something that will take a lot of work/time to do?

Is fairly easy to do

Cost wise it will depend on how much you pay for the cluster

Send jedi knight a PM as he might have a highline for sale soon

Ok thank you. I assume I'll need another wiper stalk as I don't have mfsw? At present I have the up/down buttons on my wiper stalk that allow me to go through mpg, range, etc

Indeed. This could work out well if you want mine and I'll have the ones off Eddie.

Not 100% sure on their value but a quick look at completed items on eBay and i'd say £120 cash is a fair price? plus then whatever Eddie wants to fit them and code them.
My clocks are 1K6 920 972

Weekends are best obviously, otherwise most evenings are OK tbh, I don't get booked up so I only need a few days notice normally  :happy2:

No as long as you have the buttons on the wiper stalk you'll be able to go through the options.

Ok great thanks Jedi. Is the cluster you have available off a gti? Because I understand the dials look different if off other petrols/diesel vehicles.

Hi Ed,

I would need my high line clocks done and live in London. When are you planning of coming down?

Thanks
