Recently upgraded to Cruise & had Tech2 done to enable system but VX want either £13 or £20 + VAT to supply cluch switch to get it to work.
Difference in price apparantly due to switch being Chassis specific - robbers!
-
Sorry guys - wrong section.
Tonight's moderator might want to move to General Chat - or bin. You choose.

If thats for them to fit it as well......sounds ok to me.....even with the difference in price for the different switch.......suprised they didnt say £45 for tech2 work and another £45 to fit the switch as well on top of the cost of the part!
-
Just been this morning & need the £20 switch (supply only) - but as the nice mechanic refused the bung for enabling the system it doesn't seem so bad.
-
take it your is a manual? I'll have to check but i think i have a spare clutch switch... i ordered it when i bought some other bits, but turned out my car already had one.
Its yours for a £5 posted if u want it?

Apart from clutch switch and the stem/stalk what else is needed before you can get the setup enabled?
-
Thanks Tunnie I'll PM my details.

If its drive by wire (2.2,2.6,3.2) then it also needs 30 seconds with a tech2 as well as stalk and clutch switch if manual (some manuals already have clutch switch)
Older engines need actuator/ecu, cable, stalk, brake switch (4 pin one), and clutch switch if manual. No tech2 work reqd.

If your car is fly by wire thats it - check this out first. If FBW then just swap the stalk & connect the additional fly lead to your pre wired loom behind the steering shroud. Ask nice man with Tech2 to enable instrument software & you're off. Apparantly its 50/50 as to whether you have a clutch switch already.
Key search under cruise upgrade as there are many threads that may help.
Good luck

So for a mini-facelift 1998 2.5 cd its not just a case of clutch switch, stalk and cable to throttle?
-
I'll let The Boy confirm but sadly I'd say not. :(

ecu/actuator, cable, stalk, brake switch and clutch switch if manual. About £40 from scrappy. Plug it in and go :)
-
daft question but what and where is the ecu/actuator? Any pics?
-
bolted to inner wing.
it contains the ecu controller, and a stepper motor to pull a 2nd throttle cable.
Plugs into the 10 pin connector clipped to top of drivers side suspension turret.
-
Thanks :y
Right had a look under the bonnet
No sign of a connector for the ecu thingy to plug to....will be under the black scuttle thing?
Also in the boot of my car theres a two pin multiconnector on the near side tucked up high...what would this work normally...my car doesnt have a blind
-
Nearly there but not quite. :'(
Fitted the clutch switch from Tunnie today (thanks m8 cq in post) and took for a test but no response.
I know the stalk works ok cos I saw the Tech2 display which showed it was just being held off by the missing switch when the guy activated the system for me.
Does it need a fuse somewhere to work & if so which one?
All help as always will be appreciated.

As said in other post, check the stalk is correct one...
