Cruise Control Kit Here! YAY!

[ranton-inc]

Ch.ch.ch.check it out!

Cant wait

this will hopefully save me a few tickets

and its a factory jobby so no bull**** tacky after market crap plug and play (albeit have to remove a few bits and bobs but that is ok)



Will probably do so when my new Steering Column Arrives.

didint the R32's come with cruise from factory? or is yours broken?

[glidn]

NZ New Market, never hd the R32 come with cruise control. Actually most of the mk4 range never came with cruise control.

Heck even NZ new MK4 golf with AGU engine did not come with Cruise control.

weird...! most GTis, 2L Sports and all R32s here have CC (MK4)

NZ and Australian spec cars are very different beasts most of the time.
Due to the different climate and looser regulations NZ seems to get much better spec (or original market spec) most of the time.
The NZ MkIVs R32s were full European spec as opposed to the bastardised US/European spec that we got.

fitted the cruise kit in about 2 and a half hours tonight lots and lots of fun as you can imagine (hardest part was removing the windscreen wiper assembly

went to bed at about 6:30 cos i was feeling sick

woke up about 3 hours ago couldnt get back to sleep and decided id go fit the damn thing!

heres the piccys














ooooh pretty green light


and after finishing that had to go to work at midnight because the driver couldnt run the truck in to the markets!

tested this morning

works a charm! just like it was always there!

i want to know how the GTI (AGU) guys over in Aussie got Cruise control?

no body sells a Genuine retro fit kit for them any where..

[Lams]

Perhaps they fitted cruise controls to Aus-spec cars as the country is much larger.

Awesome-GTI in the UK (www.awesome-gti.co.uk) supplies factory cruise control kits to most cars

[ranton-inc]

Electronic Throttled only!

weird..

so how they hang do they do it on the MKIV GTI AGU?

[deemoE36]

thats strange to me, $50 gradnds top of the range vw for NZ doest have a CC, when 10 yrs ago, regullar mk3 GLs had them standard... wierd

[glidn]

yeah as hitman was saying we would like to figure out how and what parts are needed to get the AGU golf working with cruise control.

so if any of you guys with CC on your AGU GTI. Can you please take pics of Stalk and engine bay particularly the throttle body and also any additional units around the brake booster.

Thanks

Yeah well New Zealand is beterer!

I'm interested too, as my German-spec '00 GTI does not have CC, yet I've driven a US-spec. one that did have it.., and would love to fit a kit to mine.

Do I assume all the kits on ebay are for non-AGU cars??

[ranton-inc]

i think the AGU is rather Difficult to fit CC to..

[h100vw]

Much easier on DBW cars as the ECU can open the throttle. I used to make the loom that goes to the ECU for a company in the UK. They were fitting them to VAG cars as an option when installing APR software.

I reckon there'll be a a fair bit of stuff to install on top of the loom and stalk.
