hi, been reading quite a few posts on cruise control probs. finally assertained that my 2001 tdi has electronic c/c. can any of guys tell me what i need to check for on the brake pedal and on the clutch pedal, i have checked rear brake lights they are ok, do i need to see if the pedals send out poditive or negative current etc.

i have a multimeter but i am not sure what to check for. has any tdi owner had a faulty stalk switch , or is it the control modules that are likely to be faulty.

many thanx, in advance

what is actually wrong - does it not set or set and get faster/slower or what?

 

 

oops just read your second line - does it start always and then sometimes drop out of cruise or does it not start. Possibly a switch problem as you suspect, we've got an auto so if the brake switch plays up we can't get into gear so would replace at the first sign of trouble with it :)

hi, thanx for getting back to me ,

the c/c works intermittently. sometimes it will work when i switch it on, sometimes it wont switch on at all, what i have noticed is that when it is working, and i go over a bump, it knocks itself off, but often it comes back on when i click the switch on the stalk again - could it be a dodgy contact somwhere. the gal is a 2001 tdi 115 manual

when you set cruise to on should there be a symbol on the dash to say it is engqaged my owner manual seems to suggest there should be but no symbol appears when i engage it ;) i hope that makes sense ;) i know what i'm on about anyway ;)

after having the instrument cluster changed for another problem the CC symbol now magically appears

Mine has never appeared - CC works fine and I have never had any faults nor light. ;)
