Just been quoted £225 :cry: to have cruise control fitted to my car by the stealer from Wigan.
The workshop say that it is a big job and that it may not be possible to fit to my GTi - they will need to further investigate.
Is he having a larf? Do I go elsewhere?
-
It says £150 plus vat fitted in the VW pricelist :wink:
-
Actually it's £150 fitted inc. VAT :grin:
-
Holly cow :wink:
-
£150 at participating retailers :)

ATTN - another post hi-jack
Phope - I saw an 07 plate white ED30 on its way out of Aberdeen (heading South on the A90) just before the Shell garage on Friday night just past; was it you? Must have been about 5.30-6.00 pm-ish.
I was on my way into Aberdeen to visit the in-laws. :cry:
I also saw an 07 plate white ED30 heading North on the A90 (not sure if it was the same car) on Sunday afternoon.
I was on my way back to Glasgow - in-law visit completed. :grin:
-
Mine was put on by dealer as part of deal, I think they discounted the parts/work down on their copy of the invoice to £80, but listed it on my copy as £150. Foreman in workshop told sales manager that job was a piece of pi** and would take no more than an hour, I guess I wasn't supposed to hear that bit :wink:

I had cruise fitted by the dealer.....£150 inc vat :smiley:
-
do you guys with cruise use it much? ive had it on several cars and dont really use it
-
I've had three systems fitted to MK5 Golfs now, the first was £170 all in the other two £150 all in, it now takes my dealer less than 1 hour.
When I bought my GTi the supplying dealer Birmingham VW said they couldn't do it :angry:
But then again they were a bunch of Flanges, as they left my transport blocks in.
-
its £150 down in Canterbury too.
-
£150 in Maidstone too... but not getting it done until 1st service.
-
bunch of Flanges,
I make it my personal mission to use this phrase as much as possible.
-
am getting mine done for the simple reason the car carries its speed so well, you piss a ton with ease...
i commute a few miles too and from work so i need to be able to set the car at about 80-85 and sit back...
i keep looking down and seeing numbers that i shouldnt be..license keeper and all that.
-
i personally find the best place for having cruise is in the average speed check zones, if you've got sat nav then you can just set it to 49 mph and laugh as you drive pass all the mugs trying to keep an average speed.

Ditto that.

jon, that is the best summary of the golf i've ever heard
... the car carries its speed so well, you piss a ton with ease...
LOL, so true!
-
scarily so....its an eerie place to be at the wrong speed....
so much of a step on from the mk4....i dont need cruise in my csl cos at 85, there is a sweet spot on the racing pipe, where it goes quite quiet, after that the 4 horsemen of apocalype start roaring again....
am looking froward to gliding along at 85 in the golf, without the fear of retribution from said plod.

Be careful tightening as excessive tightness may cause rubbing between the steering wheel and the plastic steering housing.

Blimey thats cheap Awesome quote £175. Is the VW fit OEM full function cruise?. Got to be worth it for MPG, License and resale at £150.

Just a very slight note of pesimism - all dealer-fit options only have a 12month warranty, whereas all factory fitted options carry the full three year warranty! :nerd:
