MK6 Golf MY11 Cruise Control Retrofit

[am1w]

I'll do it make no mistake it's just frustrating that Vw send out used stock, coded for the wrong car!

VW are full of surprises.

As are most manufacturers!

News,

Ok so I failed at this task - I Dont know why it wont work and not willing to try any further or spend any more £ 

Hazzy Dayz are coming out on Tuesday to fit it for £300 ;-)

Doc I take it you are fond of cruise and have used it on previous cars?
I used to use it a lot on my previous car (Mazda) but the golf just seems so awkward compared to it when using the stalk to accelerate or decelerate. I can't work it out.
Also it doesn't seem to keep to a steady speed the way the Mazda did. Going downhill for example it can exceed what you have set it at whereas the previous car kept the speed constant!!

I've also found I can get a lot more mpg not using the cruise.

I have today just fitted it to my 2010MY Rocco R, all working, not the easiest of tasks.  But achievable,took about 90mins, and involves a hammer and chisel, and removal of the Ignition barrel!

I will post a how-to over the Rocco Cent site, and link it on here.

Parts used were

Slip ring controller 5K0 953 569H

Stalk 5K0 953 502 B 9B

My original Slip Ring Cont was a suffix D, and according to Etka does not support CC.

Hammer and chisel!?!?!? My car was built march 2010 would they be using a such force to retrofit cruise to it? was going to get it done at first service but if it's that much hassle i don't think i'll bother.

I over dramatised that bit.  You do have to use a chisel to remove the Shear bolts, but they are not very tight, and move easily.

I used a club hammer, due to not having much room, and wanting to shift it with just a tap.

Then you can remove the Ignition barrel complete with the twin stalk assembly, and then dis-mantle the barrel, and refit.

i used new shear bolts, and just nipped them up so easy to remove, they won't come undone, but not tight enough to shear.

However you could fit standard M8 allen bolts, and they would be fine.

Don't be dis-heartened, and have a go.  It is quite easy really.


Picture of one of the Shear bolts, didn't take too much to shift, which shows in the damage to the head.

I'll not be doing it myself mate, it'll be the stealers most likely, i'm not very good at that stuff and would like to have the security of the 2 year warranty. I didn't think it was so difficult though!
