Hi all.
As a result of my previous post ( Cambelt/oil leak disaster in V70 TDI ), I
have been looking around at other cars just to get a taste other options. I
have found almost the perfect car, with all the toys which my 1997 model
has, heated seats, headlamp wash-wipe, electric mirrors all round, leather,
e.t.c, BUT it has no cruise control. This is my most-used feature on my
current car, and I consider it essential! I was wondering if it was simple
to fit cruise to this car. Is it just a case of fitting the extra switches
in the steering wheel? My current car (old shape) has the control on the
indicator stalk, but I'm fairly sure the new shape cars have all these
controls on the steering wheel. I guess this could be a problem if the
slip-rings for the connection of the extra functions are not fitted around
the steering column? I would like to hear from anyone who has managed to
retro-fit the factory cruise system. I understand that the Diesel model
already has electronic throttle position sensor e.t.c, so shouldn't need any
extra sensors fitting?
Any help appreciated.
