cruise control

[flaatr@yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

I have gone thru this myself and in the few seconds I have I will try to 
tell you what I know.

The switches and wiring is the same in the Audi and the Volkswagon so 
Bentley should be all you need. You will need to install the speed sensor 
on the back of your speedo, if it not already there and add a couple of 
wires to make things work.

The hard part is the throttle linkage. I have the complete setup from a 16V 
golf as an example but as you already know the golf and Scirocco are 180 
degrees different. If you look at the test pipe on your 16V you will notice 
that it is bolted into one of two holes in a raised area... this is where 
the vacuum solenoid mounts... the test pipe bracket is relocated to one of 
the screws on the stiffener. The 16V Golf with factory cruise also has a 
special piece on the throttle body that has the normal cable mount but also 
a ball for the cruise linkage to connect to... don't bother looking for one 
since it can not be used on the Scirocco... you will need to fabricate a 
new one.

So here it is... install is simple if you can just make a bracket to mount 
the vacuum solenoid to the intake and a throttle linkage for the throstle 
body...

There is much more to say so if you have any questions please ask.

I can provide picks of a 16V Golf solenoid bracket and throstle linkage.
