Retro Fitting Cruise Control (How much)

Featured Replies

Well I may not be able to get a leather retrim in SWMBO's VRS but she has agreed to Cruise Control. :thumbup:

Question is how long would this generally take to fit. I have looked a Fabia-VRS.com and looks straight forward. although with no experience of airbags, not something I feel happy about attempting myself. But I just want to make sure that my local garage is not going to take the mickey to much.

Also being a relative newbie, I seem to be trawling the site every evening for something new to add. Is VRSstu also fabia-vrs.com. only I notice he is based in Hampshire? Could this be wiser route?

Cheers

If you're competent to have a go yourself then there are plenty of people to help/advise you. If you don't fancy it then drop me an email or PM and we'll sort something out.

I had my vRS fitted with cruise by Telfords Skoda in Carlisle back in 2005. Mine was the first they'd done and it took a day & a half and cost (if my memory is right) £200-£250. Brilliant device and great to play with..

Good old Unit18????? ;):thumbup:

Unit 18 would be good too, but considering the OP lives pretty much in Stu's back garden, it probably makes more sense due to travelling time.

Both Stu & Unit18's Lummox/Ross would do an ace job though no doubt :thumbup:

I fitted the kit on my car myself, took my time and did it over a few evenings. I'd consider myself fairly competent when it comes to stuff like this but it was still quite a task.

For the money guys like Stu charge to supply and fit i'd let him do it - at least then it's done in a few hours and your not rushing to try and get the car back together cos you need it for work etc.
