Hi, In sorting my cruise control fault, I moved my clockspring, not knowing it would cause a fault, then SNAP! I opened up the clock spring, located the broken parts and re-soldered them. However, there are 8 copper wires on the loom itself and only 7 parts to connect on to the pins. I connected 7 of them initially and my horn began working again and the steering wheel controls too, however the airbag light was on and cruise control was disabled. I took it apart again, cleaned up my soldering and now the cruise control is back, but the steering wheel controls have gone! I have no idea where I am going wrong and whether the spare piece of wire is to be joined onto another connector? Many thanks and well done if you have made sense of my post 🤣

Hi Rich, that's ideal mate thanks for the advice, should it happen to me again! Hopefully the caliper should arrive tomorrow

Thanks for all of the replies. Unfortunately, it looks like I need a new caliper. I pumped the brakes slightly, which caused them to move. It was easy to rewind them to the point I was at previously, but it is stuck completely there 😔 I appreciate everyone's input though, many thanks!

Good evening, I have been replacing my rear discs and pads today, however the drivers side caliper won't rewind. I have a rewind tool (Laser I believe), which worked on the passenger side, but not the other. Any ideas where I am going wrong at all? Many thanks in advance.

Thanks to all who replied. By way if an update, I have fixed the fault! I decided the pop the steering wheel off and take a look, which revealed a broken wire! I soldered it back together and voilà, I now have cruise control!

Sorry if I am missing the obvious, but I cannot see a solution there? Mine isn't intermittent also, it's a continuous fault. Thanks

Hi all, Thank you very much for the replies. I'll be sure to carry out the above and will also add some DPF additive to the diesel. Thanks again.

Hi, My fan comes on very loudly every time I stop the car and turn it off. It is a 2017 Octavia 1.6 TDI with 89k miles. Is this normal?

Apologies, but the picture I had tried to add has not appeared. It is the cruise control symbol, but in orange with an exclamation mark. Thanks.

Hi there, New forum member here and I have a query, if anyone could kindly help me. I have the standard cruise control on my 2017 Skoda Octavia 1.6 TDI and I am met by the following error message on my screen. My cruise control is on the indicator stalk and as far as I have read, this is the standard cruise control and not the adaptive version? I have split the stalk and cannot see anything obvious. Many thanks in advance!
