Afternoon all!
Have a bit of a weird one.... My cruise control green light on the dash every now and then disappears, meaning I lose cruise control!
Normally a quick turn off then on, of the ignition and the light comes back on, although not all the time and sometimes it takes a few attempts!
I've been trying to figure out if something is triggering it and it seems to possibly be linked to when I operate the indicators! especially the right hand one!!
What's going on here?? And any suggestions as to how to cure the problem?
TIA

Could be a dodgy stalk.
Check with VCDS.

I have this same issue.Had mine fitted about a year ago and its been acting up over the last month or so.

I had the same problem took stalk apart and it was a broken wire which I repaired and no more issues. The wire was over works I work-related it used some extra heatsink to stop it rubbing through

Thanks for the replies folks, do i need to take the steering wheel off to get the stalk out and look at any potential wiring issue? :happy2:

Sadly I had to and remove the stalk for the repair but wasn't to bad as far as I remember it was a red wire but was obvisiously broken when able to get access

I don't think mines ever worked!!!
I click the switch over the light comes on the dash but ain't got a clue how to set the speed? :stupid:

Hold the button on the stalk down and it should set. you can also go up with speed and down when pressing the up down buttons. mine works but when I press the brakes it goes into normal mode BUT on the odd occasion it will automatically go back to the set speed randomly :signLOL:
