Cruise Control

[dubber36]

At what point did the stalk change? Could this have something to do with it?

When I turn main beam on in my 2010 GT, I push the stalk forward and it stays there. On the newer models when you push it forward, it springs back.

I asked at my dealer when I had it serviced last month if they retrofit cruise control they said they do but the cost depends when the car was made. Upto weeks 42 of 2010 £180, after it can be £180 plus the cost of a new control module which can be £450.

That's rubbish!  It's a set price for all Golf vi's of £188 from VW.  This is an advertised price in the accessories brochure and web site. 

Maybe that is the VW price I'm just quoting what my dealer told me.

Yes.  Not your fault - the dealers not quoting the correct price. Why don't you ask again and quote the fitted price on the web site.  See what they say then.  Worth a go...

Interesting. I will have to try mine and see what it does as i cannot remember  :embarassed:
It was suppose to change around middle of 2010 but some say earlier 2010 some say later. Dealer was not sure what mine was when i asked.

Mines week 7 2010 so about that age.If this is a good indication of what version it meens it uses the mk5 stalk which is only about £67 rrp from the dealers as a part. I was going to order the part earlier in the year and take the chance but a family took priority and i forgot about it.

Yes you can get cruise control fitted at VWCruise. They fit a lot of OEM kit.

Mines an early 2010 so the older switch should fit I would have thought.

That looks good and cheaper than the main dealer. 

So with the newer stalk it's cheaper to use the main dealer.  With the older one this company looks good!
