Rossimac's Steel Grey GTI
Rossimac:
MFSW doesn't make a difference as far as I know.
The easiest way is to see if the ECU has the wire going to it - you can get a look at this behind the windscreen wiper box -

I took the gamble that there would be a wire there so never checked myself... :happy2:

Some good info here, will possibly give mine a check soon as I'd quite like cruise control. I have a late 2007 (57 plate) GTI so fingers crossed! Out of interest, is there a way of using VCDS or similar to find out exactly what steering module a car has fitted, then reference that to a list to find which features it supports out the box?

Mine has '1K0 953 549 BG' listed as steering wheel control module, car has MFSW, Cruise and DSG if that helps :happy2:

Got my ED30 front splitter delivered. Couldn't find an original one so went for an ABS plastic one off eBay.
Will be painting and fitting this and the rear ED30 bumper in the summer along with an OEM parking kit as well.
Recently, I picked up a set of xenon headlights from a breakers for £70. Only downside was that the driver's side was completely disintegrated... but the internals apparently worked so I took a punt.
Tested in my car and found the ballast from one had a lot of corrosion on it.
Some electrical circuit cleaner from Halfords and a toothbrush later and the ballast was working once again.
After getting a second set of damaged headlamps (this time the driver's side was the good one - and again for £70 delivered, except no ballasts/igniters/bulbs this time so couldn't resell any of those components), I finally had my lamps ready to be fitted.
Once fitted they look awesome and make the front end of the car really light up.
Condensation inside the passenger's side after 20mins... unsure why.
Total expenditure including kufatec adapters and 2 lug repair kits from VW: £245.
Only issue I've had apart from the condensation is that my sidelights have come up with a CANBUS error. Not sure why as I think they both work.
I did have DRLs configured before with my Halogen lights, so maybe this has something to do with it?
Also, am I okay to continue to use the coming home/approaching car lights? I've read others say to disable this to stop the ballast from wearing out too early (as they will turn off and on as your switch the ignition on). What is your advice? I take it R32s have this function and they come with xenons as standard and therefore must be okay...?
Ideas, comments and questions welcome!

Just seen this after replying to you asking if you had any photos of your car :grin:
Great car and love the colour! Had thought about going across to get one but managed to find mine locally
Did you change your DV yourself? My PCV valve has been done but thinking about changing the DV as a precaution
