MK6 Golf MY11 Cruise Control Retrofit

[Keithuk]

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? 

[The Doc]

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?

[The Doc]

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?

[The Doc]

Yes you did and due to that information it was the first thing I checked.

Thank you

Have you made any progress Doc?

[The Doc]

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 

what have you had to change so far?

[The Doc]

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!
