Weird Cruise Control - 2008 Golf
Discussion
I'm using a 2008 diesel Golf Plus at the moment and the cruise control behaves a bit strangely.
With it switched to ON position, the idiot light is illuminated when the car starts, but after less than a minute it goes out, even though the on/off switch has not been touched.
I've read on here that cruise control can often fail on these cars and the stalk or brake/clutch switches can screw up, however since it does come on initially, can anyone narrow down the most likely point of failure? If it is the brake or clutch switch, do these just need removal/clean refit to operate again?
The car is a company hack so could be fixed by VW, but if it's something quick and simple I'd rather just do it myself.
