Hi,

Went to drive the wifes Touran (05 Plate 2.0 TDI Sport DSG) and the cruise control not work 

Light on dash should come on when turn switch on indicator stalk to on, and NO light !!  It has done this once a while ago, but a turn engine off and on and all Ok !

Its not playing ball at all now. 

Usual suspects are:

• Brake light switch - I assume this is OK as brake lights works !
• Indicator stalk switch contacts not working - I found a guide on how to take apart and clean - This is now done and no difference 
• Fuse 7 in engine bay is part of cruise control - This fuse is fine
• Fuse 4 in cabin also claimed to be same part of cruise control - NO FUSE here - never was ! Assume engine bay Fuse 7 is the one and is fine

Maybe common issue of Golf Mk 5 and Golf Plus as share much DNA !

One suggestion is new indicator/cruise stalk.   I have done this my Dads Face Lift Omega (Desmond - CD model to retro fit Cruise  ).  Easy as not need to remove the steering wheel, but I can't seemed to find if the same applies for Touran.  I don't fancy removing the wheel and airbag in face 

Any thoughts ?

Good news... the steering wheel screw can be reused upto five times

Bad news... it's a VW. Actually you already know that Steering wheel needs to come off to remove the cowling

Haynes '04- Golf/Jetta manual tells you everything you need to know... won't repeat it here as the four chapter jumps will confuddle even the most committed Haynes fan...

For example...

Chapter 12 Body electrical systems: Removing Indicator/Cruise/Wiper Stalk...
Step 1. Remove steering wheel as described in Chapter 10...

Chapter 10 Steering and Suspension: Removing Steering Wheel...
Step 1. Remove Airbag as described in Chapter 12...

Haynes should rate jobs by the number of Tamazepan boxes required to do each task rather than spanners

Who actually uses cruise these days?

Many thanks.  Yep, had more issues with VW than with my MLF V6 Omega !! 

I'll take up road the VW Specialist to plug in.  Not bad chaps there and better than the Stdealer !

Pop it on and put feet up 

the only motorways within striking distance from me are M1 and M62. No chance of keeping up a constant speed on either of them.
Suppose I could go out at three in the morning, if I had cruise control.

There will be a switch on the clutch pedal as well....worth a check

Yep, I wondered why there was a pedal missing 

Am taking to VW specialist Saturday for diagnostic.  Will post outcome and fix for those interested at weekend.  Suspicions are indicator stalk cruise switch faulty (I have removed and cleaned but no joy)  or brake pedal switch (brake lights work, but there is a secondary contact I understand).

Will keep posted.
