One is damaged so at present, that isnt an option.

I thought you already had a set of Hella's Alex?

Can't wait to see what you do with them.
Have you fitted the set of LED's on Greg's Polo yet?

Keep us all updated

Well, after a few hours work, I now have the cruise control fully installed. All properly wired in with the appropriate plugs and loom specifics

Works a treat too, so thats another extra to add to the list!

How much did it cost all together?
Its a shame they didnt come with it as standard really

Bear in mind I got the stalk at a heavily discounted cost, overall price was about £65 with the wiring and the necessary plugs and heatshrink crimps. Not bad at all I'd say

I believe it was a factory option, but I cant find my literature at the moment to check.

Excellent stuff Alex. I didn't know cruise control was an optional extra mind.

What's next?

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2010 8:49 am**

Alex, do you fancy doing a how to guide on the cruise control ???

I have dreamed about cruise control so much and would love to get it in my polo but i wouldnt have a clue on part or wiring

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2010 6:28 pm**

I have a relatively decent guide that I used. Ill see if I can adjust it to suit when I have some time.

As for next Emma, im not too sure atm. I need to get the calipers painted and the wheels refurbished. I might be looking to get the front end resprayed as the paintwork hasnt held up to well

Fixed a rattle I had tonight

When I refitted the brake caliper, one of the springs hadnt seated on the pad properly, so it was rattling. Problem solved

Where did you get your aerial from and is it fully-functioning? I'm looking to fit one to my Cupra R.

Posted: **Tue Aug 31, 2010 7:55 am**

got it from Mike M and yes it is - though you need to fit an aerial booster

A chap on ebay has started selling proper ones thats are a straight swap. Heres the link

I don't see cruise control on my German or UK extras lists. Cool mod - Was there much terror on the first test run with it?
