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!

[Chopsdad]

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!

[Chopsdad]

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?

[Chopsdad]

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?

[Chopsdad]

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

[Essex_Andy]

daft question but what and where is the ecu/actuator? Any pics?

[TheBoy]

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.

[Essex_Andy]

Thanks

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
