How difficult/expensive is it to have a cruise control put into my 2000 A4?
Dear all, my A4 has everything, except cruise control, and am wondering if
it is a difficult/expensive job? Do I have to go back to Audi or are there some 3rd party specialists who can do that, I heard that the cruise control adds a control to the right hand stick (the window wiper control stick), so I suppose it's likely I'd have to go back to Audi for the job? I'm in the Nottingham area. Any help appreciated. Regards, Jules |

All it takes is for the indicator stalk to be replaced by one which includes the cruise switches, and a simple setting made with a VAG-COM device, or similar. I don't know of anyone in the Nottingham area, but I think Fontain Motors in Iver, near Slough, were offering this service. -- Peter Bell (Note Spamtrap - To reply, replace 'invalid' with 'bellfamily') |

I imagine you *wouldn't* see any throttle linkage in motion if your assistant stomped the go-pedal with the ignition turned off ;-) /daytripper '00 s4 6spd, dbw and then some |
