AwesomeAl Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hey Guys! (and girls)...I'm currently doing a lot of work rebuilding Awesome's website and eBay page and was wondering if anybody has a Photograph of Cruise control installed on a Lupo or Arosa.I'm looking for a photo with the following qualities:* Nice and clear* Doesn't have to be too big but a reasonable size will help* The dash must be standard, not painted or sticker bombed* Cruise control must be installed!! (Bit of an obvious one that one though).* You must be able to give permission for me to use the photo on our site (I.E. Not someone else's image!)If any of you guys have anything that would fit in with the above, that would be excellent!Many thanks, AL.Awesome Ltd.

Silver! Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Al, pm Jon_273. He has cc on his TDI. Sure he had/has it documented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a general thing we fit between 12-18 cruise control installations in our workshop each week! I've personally done a couple of cruise controls on friends Lupo/Arosa TDI's. They are actually a pretty usefull tool if you are A) Heavy footed and want to stick to 70mph (ish) on the motorway, or if you regularly go through Average Speed cameras whilst tired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've since had a lupo in the workshop for cruise and got a snap of it! Customer was very happy to find that I'd gone over his dashboard with a microfibre to get rid of all the dust after the technicians finished the job! lol.

Skezza Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Al,you ever fitted one in an SDI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeAl Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Al,you ever fitted one in an SDI?Sorry buddy no, We've only ever seen them fitted to the TDI's. Not sure if the SDI has the correct type of ECU for this to work.Either way volkswagen don't recommend the retrofitting of cruise control to lower powered vehicles as they often don't have the power to keep up the speed if aproaching a hill in a high gear.

Dblock Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Al how much do you charge to fit the cruise control? Also do you do a part supply only or am I better just sourcing the parts myself. I live in Scotland so you are a fair trek tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 At least the journey back would be nice and easy True enough. I'd get it remapped if I was going down probably too. From searching you charge £150 for both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Since you asked, I would have sent you an original pic from my How To thread for you to use, but it looks like your sorted now.Someone on ebay was using one of my pics to advertise cruise control stalks without asking for my permission, which I thought was a bit cheeky.

GeoffD Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 i must offer my apologies to all of your customers then, i stand rebuked!! i've got it on my tdi golf, but i've never used it, bit like ashtrays on a motorbike as far as i'm concerned, but thats just my opinion, geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
