Would a cable throttled 1.8 turbo have cruise control - would it work?

[tech1889]

i would also like to ee it on a agu and working..

When I fit a new clutch pedal switch I'm certain cruise control will fire back into life lol was working for about a year before it died on me

my agu is def cable operated, as i thought all agus were, but if people on here have agus with cc and throttle cables then there must be some way the car can lock the throttle at the needed load?

got to admit, im still dubious that these agus have cable tb's

agu is defo cable throttle.. but yes they must lock the throttle some how maybe part cable part electronic thorrle ??

agus only have one cable tho, and i cant see that being attatched to an actuator, and thats old tech, new cars use motors in the tb

Right lads you wanted part numbers:

AGU: 06A906018G (standard)
AGU: 06A906018F (Cruise control)

G is standerd, F allows cruise control. I remember discussing it with topher with his reply:

i doubt you'll find the F type, they were bloody rare.. i had an AGU with cruise but have never come across another one, it also uses a different ECU so i doubt it'll work.

aum won't work, as you need a cable operated throttle.. aum is fly by wire.

Hopefully that clears some things up, but an intresting thing may be whether the butterfly alignment motors could be doubled up as cruise control, with some sort of means of controlling it (not sure if possible, but a possibility - but then it also depends how much the alignment motor can actually turn the valve as if its only 25degrees max then it won't work.)
