Hi every one , I have just bought a 2001 Bora 4motion (silver) that i just love! It is perfect in just about every way except i can not get the cruise control to work for the life of me. The little icon lights up but no cruise action when i press set ( tried at various speeds ) . Any of you guys got any ideas ?
Cheers Chris
Ps . Would just like to thank all of you for such a great forum , made researching my Bora purchase so much easier .
Try the brake switch?!
Sometimes they are faulty causing problems with Cruise Control etc.
Yeah quick check for this is brake slightly with your left foot whilst your right is still on the throttle and you should feel the engine die slightly, if this doesnt happen then its the brake pedal switch for sure. Very common.

Also check the stalk they can cause problems even if the dash icon is lit.
Seems that this is the problem , thanks everyone for your help.Quote:

Yep , tried holding the button down for various amounts of time .
I don't have to hold mine down for 2-5 seconds. I just give it a quick press and off she cruises. ;)Quote:

Will have to test this fix on mine - it started playing up today - sometimes it wouldn't set, other times it'd be set and then there'd be a blip of the throttle and it'd disable itself. Holding resume down gives a brief blip of the throttle after 3-4 seconds, and that's it.
If it's not one thing, it's another...
