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

[The Dave]

My AGU has factory fitted cruise control but it's stopped working at the mo lol

[houston]

But do these agus have cable throttle?

[The Dave]

Yup

[houston]

looks like i'll have to get it working on mine then.

when i got the car i was told that cable throttles wont work dont evene know which bits are fitted, its got the wiper stalk but dunno about owt else

[The Dave]

my CC stuff is on the left hand stalk.

I'm told that the clutch and brake light pedal switchs can fail causing cc not to work, I've changed brake light switch but still no good, from eat I have read there are two clutch pedal switchs one which works the cruise control. Is this correct???

AGU's have cable, but there's two spec TB's (part numbers are the same just the last letter is different) the normal one VW charge £450 and the one that is also able to support CC on the AGU is £600... crazy b*stard prices if you ask me. Wish you could use the butterfly alignment motor on the cable throttle as a cruise control mechanism

so do you know the part numbers of these? or is there anyway to tell the diff? when i cleaned my throttle body i noticed there was 2 wiring harnesses attatched

Best way to tell is look at the 'far' side of the throttle body closet to the windscreen if you see a sort of 'cam/pulley' with some cable (much like that you find on a mountain bike) then its cable.. If not then well your in luck...

If you do have throttle by wire i.e electrically controlled, then follow this guide..

If you don then I have no idea. Mine is cable operated and I'd love to know how to fit cruise control...

Don't understand how they'd work on an AGU,as how would throttle activation be held electronically?
