The cruise control switch is known to give problems. I had mine replaced under warrantee. I leave mine switched off most of the time these days and only turn it on when I am driving longer distancesPar 6 Golf GTI. Coilovers, BBS CH Wheels, APR'd

I was driving down to Jervis Bay, and everytime i wanted to switch it on, it wouldnt. The switch would be on but no cruise control symbol. At every light id be restarting the car and trying it, and it still didnt work. Though when i stopped by somewhere and turned the car off for say 5-10min, i'd try turn it back on and it'd work.... is it me, or is it the CC?Originally posted by faisan View PostLast edited by anthony_VWJET; 17-02-2009, 01:17 PM.Comment

There has been a known problem with the CC stalk, symptoms are intermittent failure to engage, and also dropping out when engaged.
You might want to get them to check for any codes relating to a faulty brake light, as sometimes it can cause problems for the CC (and lots of other symptoms too).
If you have a TDI engine I'd get the turbo checked out too.
If you have a 2.0 TFSI engine get the cam follower for the high pressure fuel pump checked for wear.2017 MY18 Golf R 7.5 Wolfsburg wagon (boring white) delivered 21 Sep 2017, 2008 Octavia vRS wagon 2.0 TFSI 6M (bright yellow), 2006 T5 Transporter van 2.5 TDI 6M (gone but not forgotten).Comment

i have the same prob from the sound of it.. mine is booked in to the dealer in the next week or so as i need my elec windows fixed also.
my cc will sometimes not turn on at all... have to stop the car and restart then it works. its an intermittent thing so will pressure them to change the switch.
my elec windows i noticed the rear passenger side will not operate on auto. i have to hold the switch (drivers control) the whole time to get the window to operate. I think it is to do with the main lockout on the drivers door coz this doesnt seem to work now either. can still operate the rear windows with the switch on.1974 1300 Beetle, 1997 Golf GL, 2003 New Beetle Cabrio, 2014 Audi A4 quattroComment

I just called the dealership in my local area and have booked it in for a look this Friday morning...
I've read several articles about the actual stalk problem and it's a simple replacement (maybe faulty switch i guess), so fingers crossed it's only a minor issue...MY06 GTI: 5 Dr, Reflex Silver, Sunroof, Pioneer AVIC-HD3, OEM Sharan Antenna, GIAC (Stage 1)
