I would have thought that with your magical powers you could find such a place easily!
Just teasing. :grin:

I guess if you can find a decent VW dealer then just get them to do it for £162.50 at least then you have a two year warrenty with it.

Nice one fellas. :smiley:

Looks like one of the initial launch cars leather, rcd 510 parking sensors, rear view camera, manual?
Evo
-
correct it is. - few other bits n bobs aswell winter pack, dynaudio etc etc..
-
I am to good.......... Very nice car where you buy it from? Is it on 09 plate?
-
Got it from Lookers in Teesside, had to take the showroom model due to the time it would have took to order in what we wanted, as i had a car to scrap in on the scrappage deal. Its probably got extras we wouldnt have normally picked, like the camera but tbh, i am glad i have it now lol its on a 59 plate.. Had it just gone 12 months, gunna keep it another 2 year then get a R or an S3.
-
Nice looking car, suits silver.
-
Yeah we had one of the same cars but registered it as a demo before september, you won't do bad with what you get back for that beauty in 2 years time.............

Make sure they don't damage the casing over the steering wheel column. Easily done!

Tell me more please :-/

Cruise @ Dealers did not work BTW, so I ordered a new 2011 cruise / Indicator / wiper stalk as they come as one now and I'll work it out myself :wink:

Thanks for the update. Look forward to hear how you get on :smiley:

I'm a little persistent :wink:
-
Just finished coding my car so I get compass in the MFD from my Nav unit, while in there I found a code for the cruise control but I can't see it being that easy.....
-
Tell me more please :-/
When they put back the two halves of the casing, they should mesh in pre-shaped grooves. They very slightly damaged mine. I've managed to fix it myself since.
A replacement new one was ordered as a warranty claim. I checked it before it was installed with the master tech. We both felt it was utter rubbish. Therefore, was not used and susequently returned.
-
Cool, it looks all ok even though they had the steering wheel off etc
Many thanks for the heads up though - it's good to be back - you guys are true comrades :wink:
-
Collected more bits today, fitting them in the morning so I'll let you guys know how I get on afterwards.
Wish me luck oh and......
Keithuk any advice?
-

Yes be careful removing and replacing the steering wheel, airbag. Thats a bad design if you have to do that just to fit the switch.
Do you now the code to set it up with VCDS? :wink:
-
FYI, although I'm sure you will already know....
One has to remove the steering wheel to fit the now combined cruise switch / indicator / wiper stalk AND the steering wheel slip ring, both of which need to be replaced to make the cruise function on late 2010 (2011MY for the rest of us)versions.
Go on, what's the VCDS coding that I need to do oh burning bush of information.
-
How have you found Altincham dealers from a retro fit and servicing point of view?
-
My opinion is only based on the parts department who are excellent, Ben and Andy really do go the extra mile.
The service department seems fine but I've only been there once to have the cruise fitted which didn't happen, they hadn't replaced the steering column shroud properly but hey ho.
Please bear in mind that ive only done 800 miles so I have not really had a chance to asses them fully!
I'll continue to use them in the future if it's any guide.
-
Doc: Did I not tell you they would not put the Turin Shroud back on properly?
-
Yes you did and due to that information it was the first thing I checked.
Thank you :wink:
-
Have you made any progress Doc? :smiley:
-
Yes and no lol
I'm nearly there I think, but the parts alone have cost over 190 plus vat so far.
I'm waiting for some help with the coding ;-)
I'll win - you know me ;-)
-

I admire your persistence :cool:
what have you had to change so far?
-
Cruise Stalk but it's different to the old one and comes as one part including the wiper stalk.
Steering wheel slip ring but VW have seng me a used one as it had fault codes in it from a car with much higher miles than mine so they are getting me another one, thought it was strange how they were on back order the other day until December then they had one appear 2 days later!
I'll do it make no mistake it's just frustrating that Vw send out used stock, coded for the wrong car!

VW are full of surprises. :rolleyes:

As are most manufacturers!

News,
Ok so I failed at this task - I Dont know why it wont work and not willing to try any further or spend any more £ :grin:
Hazzy Dayz are coming out on Tuesday to fit it for £300 ;-)
-
Doc I take it you are fond of cruise and have used it on previous cars?
I used to use it a lot on my previous car (Mazda) but the golf just seems so awkward compared to it when using the stalk to accelerate or decelerate. I can't work it out.
Also it doesn't seem to keep to a steady speed the way the Mazda did. Going downhill for example it can exceed what you have set it at whereas the previous car kept the speed constant!!
I've also found I can get a lot more mpg not using the cruise.
-
I have today just fitted it to my 2010MY Rocco R, all working, not the easiest of tasks. But achievable,took about 90mins, and involves a hammer and chisel, and removal of the Ignition barrel!
I will post a how-to over the Rocco Cent site, and link it on here.
Parts used were
Slip ring controller 5K0 953 569H
Stalk 5K0 953 502 B 9B
My original Slip Ring Cont was a suffix D, and according to Etka does not support CC.
-
Hammer and chisel!?!?!? :sick: My car was built march 2010 would they be using a such force to retrofit cruise to it? was going to get it done at first service but if it's that much hassle i don't think i'll bother.
-
I over dramatised that bit. You do have to use a chisel to remove the Shear bolts, but they are not very tight, and move easily.
I used a club hammer, due to not having much room, and wanting to shift it with just a tap.
Then you can remove the Ignition barrel complete with the twin stalk assembly, and then dis-mantle the barrel, and refit.
i used new shear bolts, and just nipped them up so easy to remove, they won't come undone, but not tight enough to shear.
However you could fit standard M8 allen bolts, and they would be fine.
Don't be dis-heartened, and have a go. It is quite easy really.
Picture of one of the Shear bolts, didn't take too much to shift, which shows in the damage to the head.

I'll not be doing it myself mate, it'll be the stealers most likely, i'm not very good at that stuff and would like to have the security of the 2 year warranty. I didn't think it was so difficult though!
-
Where is this from Stokeballoon cos when we did Docs we took it all apart without any thing like that been taken out????

Must be different on the Golf.
Part numbers I used were
Slip ring controller 5K0 953 569H
Stalk 5K0 953 502 B 9B9
Golf Stalk is 5K0 953 513 9b9? Different part?

I GOT CRUISE :wink:
Parts were Slip ring and Cruise stalk :smiley:
Also got a steering wheel that now rubs on the shroud :sad:
-
Movi came over to have his done also but they didn't bring enough parts - nutters
Manage to code a few goodies on his lovely white 3 door though so not a total waste of time :wink:

One step forward, two steps back.
I'm sure you'll fix it. But it so annoying.

-
Doc, any idea what part numbers were used?

They say that bad things come in 3's
1st being my new sat nav not working :rolleyes:. (Lithuania have agreed to send another)
2nd being still no cruise :rolleyes: (he's coming up next week to fit.)
3rd being a big yellow grit bin dropping off the back of a flatbed directly in front of me on the motorway :shocked: :angry:
Managed to dance around it but it was f**king close. :sick:
It was good to meet you Doc, thanks for coding my goodies. Still managed to forget one touch, both doors open and startup staging :smiley:. ill be back for round 2 when the new nav turns up if thats alright with you?
is it any warmer in that workshop of yours today? ill bring my wet weather and full arctic gear next time :grin:
-
^You can sort the door unlock through the MFD mate.

Any joy Doc?

Cruise Stalk Part Number Is: 5K0 953 513 M
Slip Ring Part Number Is: 5K0 953 549 B
It seems the problem I had was that the ring I had from VW had been pre-coded to another car :sad:
I have a new, boxed Cruise Stalk 5K0 953 513 M here that I'll take 50 quid for if anyone wants it :wink:

@The Doc I see you're on ilexa Onboard Diagnostics Forum (http://www.ilexa.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,29034.0.html)
Did you buy your VCDS of them? We are in the process of buying one for work when you fill in the registration page it asks for a number supplied by them. I spoke to Derek Edwards today about the VCDS and I asked about the number. He said they contact customers with the details of the forum and the number. We shall have to wait until we buy it. :wink:
Edit: Typo
