New GTI MKV Owner! Some Help needed please!!
« on: January 21, 2011, 09:27:40 am »
Hi, I have owned my GTI for about two months now, recently though the alarm has started goin off, the code posted on the car said there was an error with the interior sensors, does anyone know where to source replacement senors and how to replace them, thanks. Also my cruise control has never worked. When i flick the switch on the stalk the cruise control indication light on the dash doesnt even light up. Any help would be great, thanks!!

Cruise issue might be that a previous owner has added the stalk but the car hasnt been programmed to know its there. This can be done with VCDS or by a dealer - assuming thats the problem.

Not sure about the alarm bit

Ok sensors should be between the front and rear roof grab handles.
As for the cruise. I would say if it was factory option your cruise control stalk requires replacement.

One of my mk5 golfs I bought the cruise worked on the test drive than again on the way home from buying it and never again till the replaced it with new stalk. 2005 most predominant model to have cruise control stalk failure.
