Hi guys,
I come to you with an unusual request, that you help me help my Audi dealer figure out how correctly retrofit a Cruise Control. The car has been with them for around 3 weeks now but no luck yet getting the Cruise Control to work.
So I own an Audi A2 1.4TDI from 2001. I do a lot of highway traveling so I got excited when I learned through Mike / Skipton01 posts that you could retrofit a Cruise Control. Unfortunately I live too far away from Mike to have him work on it so I’ve asked my local Audi dealership (I’ve been their customer for 14 years) how much would it cost to have them do the work. I was quoted an ok price so I thought “yeah let’s do it!”.
Well yesterday I’ve received a call apologising and explaining that they have done everything they can imagine but can’t get it working. They claim to have the full schematics, got all the new cabling done, activated the necessary parts, but when they take it to the road they can’t get it to work.
I’ve told them it’s ok to keep the car for a bit longer while they try to figure it out and also told them that in the meanwhile I would be trying to find out through this forum I know (you guys!) and a member in particular (Mike!) if I can get any valuable tips to give them.
So here I am, asking you all for your input to get an actual Audi dealership to figure out what's preventing a freshly retrofitted Cruise Control from working.
Thank you all.
