whatever you do don't go to the dealer, i think the dealer near me quoted £250 to fit it

i got a specialist to do mine, and I'm sure you'll be able to find one round your area.

He said "i've never been asked that before"  :rolleyes: "i woulnd't touch it", changing all the switches etc lol i said to him its all there just need's fitting, pluging in and turning on by VAGCOM  :nerd:
He didn't want to know!! grr

my local stealers (Lookers) advertise the kit + fitting for about £150, which seems a good price, but...

i did mine myself the other day, the kit was about £70 from the stealers and contained everything needed

it took me an afternoon to do and there were no problems

there's a really good guide here (which I used) http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dgace/ (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dgace/) - doesn't seem to be working atm

another guide here http://www.golfmk4.co.uk/cruise_control.htm (http://www.golfmk4.co.uk/cruise_control.htm)

ps. i believe all TDIs are drive by wire, plus are already half wired for cruise control from the factory (unlike the 1.8T)
