Cruise Control Vac Pump Not Behind Light Or Wing...help :(

[marcb]

I am trying to sort out a few issues on a 2002 galaxy tdi Ghia. I bought and one of them is the cruse control. I have read tons of posts and they say the pump hoses split so I have had the head light out and the inner wing plastic put there is no pump there. I have the stalk so assume it should have the rest fitted. I went to the scrap yard and found 3 others but after removing the same bits still couldn't see it. Any help locating any of it would be great and help with my window problem too. Many thanks.

I think only petrol Galaxys use vacuum pipes for cruise control. TDI uses an electronic system but that's all I know unfortunately. Perhaps someone else will be able to give more details.

Ok many thanks for the reply. Hopefully someone can give me some pointers on how/where to check for faulty items. I know of a pedal switch or may be two but I'm not sure how to test them.

Only petrol versions have vacuum pump, the tdi is ecu controlled. Usual failure of cc on tdi is either brake switch or the stalk switch. The brake switch failure usually causes the glowplug light to flash or the brake lights stop working.

 

First port of call for electric windows problems is the wiring in the rubber gaiters between the doors and body, pull them back and you will probably see broken,exposed and or shorted wires. Note that you need to do all 4 doors and check fuses arent blown because of shorts.

Thanks for the reply. I will try and check the stalk as I don't have any glow plug lights coming on. Regarding the windows, I have stripped out all the looms and re soldered all the broken wires. The window works but only from the drivers switch and not the passenger switch. I have power at the switch and upon pressing it I get power out and at the plug that goes on the window motor. I don't get any clicks though so thought that may be the motor has another relay type thing inside separate from the one the drivers button sends power to.
