I found the sensor under the wipers the other day. Disconnected it and tested it with multimeter after being in freezer for a few mins. Sure enough it switched off as it warmed up. Not sure what temp it was at the time. Sure I read that the early Galaxy's don't switch till 5deg.

Reply's are entertaining guys. Thanks for the advice. There is definately a unit there. Nobody has removed it! LOL. If the mk1's have no vag com for the booster heater then with a quick glow plug change everything should be hunky dory rite? I'll let you know how it goes. This forum is fantastic!

Hi folks, Booster heater not been working since I had the car. Is anybody close to Grantham with VAG-COM? I'm going to change the glow plug no matter what but just in case any faults need clearing with VAG-COM. Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. Sorry about the flooding. Already replaced the pedal switches and also had them disconnected and shorted the connector on the end of the wires. Still have the same problem even with that. Runs for a short while then cuts out when it likes. Can drive on a rough road and it can be ok for a short time but then could cut out on a smooth road with no bumps etc (hard to find! lol). I have also checked the wires running in the indicator stalk. A couple of wires have a slight crack in the insulation but didn't 'seem' to have any copper breakage. Could this area be causing the problem? I have also dismantled the switch itself and thoroughly cleaned it out. All seemed ok in there to. The way the CC keeps cutting out leads me to believe that there may be something between the switches and the ecu (relay?). Can anyone confirm this for me from electrical diagrams etc please. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I have a '96 tdi with the 90hp 1Z engine. My cruise keeps cutting out after a short time. I also notice it cuts out at the same spots on a local road. Typically its as the car goes into dip and 'overspeeds' slightly. On the way out of the dip and the cruise is no longer on. Pressing resume sometimes works, sometimes resume won't work until back on the level. I was wondering if there is anything between the switches (pedal and control) and the ecu. Maybe a relay or something that senses momentumthat maybe faulty. Can somebody please help. Thanks in advance
