Hello to all. Me names Dave, here in sunny Newcastle. Brand new to this great site - very informative! It is help I'm after...I cannot find it but I am sure I have read somewhere that there are different stalks for Cruise Control? I'm now in a bit of a flap as I have recently purchased a kit from ebay (£50) to fit to my Mk IV 1.8T. Before I proceed to strip the car apart and really pee my wife off for disappearing into the garage for the weekend I would like to know if I have the right gear. The car has an ARZ engine code and the stalk I have bought has a part number of 8L0 953 513 J. It also has LO3 and AO4 on the sticker? The wiring loom is 1 J0 971 425. If my world is about to crumble coz I can't use this kit please be gentle with any replies. Thanks very much and it's now raining in Newcastle (great!). :sad:

both types of stalk will work, but the newer type stalk(1JO) has the +/- speed switch on the end.
The 1.8t is not wired to the ecu either so you will need a loom for this too.

:grin: Cheers mate.....one soon to be peed off wife! (However, if it all goes wrong I will need her car!!!) Does anyone know where I can get the ECU loom from? I have emailed someone through another Mk IV site but have had no reply as yet. I am happy to have a go myself but would be better if I could buy a ready made loom. Thanks again, Dave. :smiley:

Check out this site http://www.golfmk4.co.uk/index.htm he has a full how to guide on fitting cruise, and he sells the loom, it is the only place i know to get one. When you remove your air bag make sure the steering wheel is in the correct position or you will be in a whole world of pain. :grin:

Thanks again mate I'll give it a go. :smiley:

Only takes about 2-3 hours to do, but you will need VAG-com to enable cruise when you have finished. I got a garage to fit mine £70 all in , took them hour and half with loads less hassle

This may help.. :wink:

Thanks mate. I hadn't realised how many different Golf sites there are!! My missus is going to hate me with all the ideas I've got......of course I have to blame you lot! Thanks again. :smiley:

Whey hey.........fitted the cruise kit meself, found a fella to switch it on via VAG-COM (£20 though) and it worked first time!!!!  Well happy. For anyone interested I have posted the guy's details on the garages board. Stealership wanted £50 to switch on cruise......told to poke it up their hoop!
PS. Made me own ECU loom as well.
