Cruise control additional loom

[af1]

hi i bought the cruise control stalk for my leon (bargain at £15 from a scrappy)

i have had the cruise activated by the fantastic guys at 'the motorist centre' in canterbury

i was wondering if anyone knew where i could buy the loom
the part number is 1J0 971 425 however when i search for it on vagparts.co.uk i cant find it, the only one i find is one called j10loom .. is this the right one, last garage i phoned for the part they quoted something rediculous like £60 for the loom

i dont mind spending £20 .. but £60 is TOO much

 

[af1]

is this the cruise loom?

search:
1J0loom
on www.vagparts.com

£60 would get you the complete kit from Skoda inc the stalk, looms and a nice instruction book.

Would you have the part numbers for this. Just to be sure this would fit the MK1 leon.
Cheers

Ahh I see you cannot post links to parts on VAGParts. Just buy the loom for 20 odd quid and use a guide on here.. save urself 50 squid or so.

 

[af1]

well, i wont be spending £60 at skoda for the kit, seeing as instructions are readily available online and i already have the stalk

im just wondering if that loom on vagparts is the correct loom?

can anyone clarify this? so i can order it
cheers

 

[af1]

so, is it the right loom?

 

[MrJohnnyB]

Looks to me to be! send them an email if you're unsure.

Where can i find it online??

The loom or the stalk? You can get a whole kit off vagparts.com but you need to activate the cruise via VagCom

 

[Gubien]

"seeing as instructions are readily available online "

Where )

I read a m0rk linked guide a while back which did it iirc.

But this should be pretty much the same....

Just wondering if you have got this working yet, as I am thinking of doing the same.
I have heard that it will only work if you have a drive by wire throttle.
See item 370117308360 on eBay.

Yes, because it uses the ECU to control the speed of the cruise, all seat 1m's are drive by wire though, or at least that's my understanding (perhaps someone can prove me wrong!)

 

[lotusandy]

I also thought they were all drive by wire, but then I read this

How to check your vehicle has 'Drive By Wire'

(Diesel Engines)

Sit with the vehicle in Neutral, Rev it upto 2,000RPM & at the same time put your foot on the brake pedal.

The rev's should drop back to idle.

When I tried doing that on my 2004 Cupra TDi nothing happened.

Maybe that test doesn't apply to my particular car?

[MrJohnnyB]

Cant you just check under the engine bay? for throttle wire? or do i not really understand how these things work .

 

[af1]

i just checked for a throttle cable
i havn't fitted it yet! just not got the time..

i could attempt to do a step by step photo guide? if anyone is interested

 

[MrJohnnyB]

I think that would be fairly helpful, as i think this is something that most people could do given the right instructions and obviously have the right tools.
