How to retro fit cruise control. Comprehensive guide
MikeBee:
Good write up! I did this today. Took me pretty much 2 hours start to finish. Your guide helped a lot.
A few links that also helped me:
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEGCgPimxl8 this helped loads when removing the steering control module. Note that you don't need to take the housing apart as above, just follow what they do in the video.
* I removed the upper steering column shroud after I removed the steering wheel. It was easier to get onto it with trim removal tools this way.
* Also useful as a cross reference -> http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Volkswagen_Golf_GTI_Mk_V/90-ELEC-Steering_Column_Stalks_Replacement/90-ELEC-Steering_Column_Stalks_Replacement.htm

Good guide, managed to follow and check I have everything I need today. Am I right in thinking that a cruise control stalk which just operate like a non cruise control stalk until I get it programmed?

Yes, That's what I'm doing at the minute. (trying to get a couple of things added before I go get it coded.)

Thanks for the great write-up.
Steering wheel control module is a git to remove, yes, but with patience and a long hex key, it's simple.
The routing of the wire from the steering control module to the in-line is tricky due to the steering column shaft movement. You need to make sure it won't get trapped or chaffe anywhere.
I've added a pic of the wire routing as you have to take care with this due to the steering column movement.
