LCR Cruise Control Instructions?

[BigJohn]

Hi,

Looking for detailed (illustrated) instructions on how to fit the VAG cruise control to a LCR. I've seen Chris Cholmeley's detailed VW instructions and wondered if anyone has detailed the different (?) method. I've seen some shots somewhere on how to get access to the fuse box and dash removal, can I find them!! Also where is the ECU mounted on the LCR??

To remove fuse box and dash check out the how to on www.icecavern.com. As for the ECU open the bonnet, its top left, u need to remove the plastic covering to get at it, possibly the wiper on that side too.

I think I'd be inclided to get a pro to do it as well, especially with wiring.

Did it last weekend at the Reading Install Meet. 3 hours of graft, couldn't have done it without some good help from Chris.

cruise control is the worst thing ever invented for the motor car

So, reading between the lines here, call me old fashioned but it looks from where I'm standing that maybe you don't like Cruise Controls?

So, I'm a bad driver, have poor judgment by fitting the cruise control.. Hey at least I'm not ugly?

Don't worry John, they're just jealous!

 

[Ray Smith]

it'd be usefull in town so you can drive at 30 mph without having to check your speed every time you see a yellow box in case you are accidently doing 33mph due to allowing your attention to focus on reading the road and driving safely rather than concentrating on the speedo 100% of the time.

Right, but I wouldn't use it in urban areas. I like full control of the car in that situation.

No, that would be those naff under-chassis neon lights. Or maybe 'baby on board' stickers.

sorry but cruise is very usefull I do abotu 30K a year most on motorway and when you are cruising on a motorway there is nothing more annoying then having constanly adjust the throttle to keep the speed right try a long drive from london to machester and you have one dead leg.

Thats what cruise is for and stupid annoying roadworks with 40mph spec cameras at 2am

lets see £60 and comfortable long distance driving and no points when in spec zone

I think so

Someone else might be able to point you in the right direction though
