I have just installed a cruise control stalk to my Vrs. I have the following error

00778 - Steering Angle Sensor (G85)

I since tried to code the steering assist

previous code 0000012

New code 0000042

but it never got rid of it also the steering is very heavy.

You may need to go through the readaption procedure for the steering angle sensor.

As seen here: VW Golf (1K) Brake Electronics (MK60) - Ross-Tech Wiki

Sensor for Steering Angle (G85)

Prerequisites:

Start the vehicle.

Turn the steering wheel one turn to the right and one turn to the left.

Drive in a short distance straight line on a level surface at a speed not higher than 20 km/h.

If the steering wheel is straight during the test drive then stop the vehicle with the wheels pointed straight.

Ensure that the steering wheel is not moved again.

Keep the engine running and do not switch off the ignition.

System voltage at least 12.0 V.

[select]

[03 - Brake Electronics]

[Coding-II - 11]

OR (if Coding-II is not available)

[security Access - 16]

Enter 40168, to enable the basic setting.

[Do it!]

[basic Settings - 04]

Group 060

[Go!]

Activate the Basic Setting.

[ON/OFF/Next]

After a successful basic setting, field 2 should say "OK".

[Done, Go Back]

To make sure the basic setting was succesful, check the sensor again.

[Measuring Blocks - 08]

Group 004

[Go!]

Check field 1, the value has to be between -1.5 and +1.5 °.

[Done, Go Back]

[Close Controller, Go Back - 06]

Note: After successful basic setting, the Steering Limit Stop needs to be adapted too.

Then this: VW Golf (1K) Steering Assist - Ross-Tech Wiki

Steering Limit Stop Adaptation

(Engine still running)

Center steering wheel (±10°) and hold it centered for 5 seconds.

Turn steering wheel completely to the left and hold it there for a second.

Turn steering wheel completely to the right and hold it there for a second.

Center steering wheel (±10°).

Switch OFF engine and ignition.

Switch ON ignition.

Wait 5 seconds.

Steering Assist Warning Lamp should turn OFF. If it doesn't, perform a short test drive.

I tried group 060 ,activated basic setting then got error group 060 not available

Hurray! i got all codes deleted, steering wheel light is off and power steering is back. I just did the full steering limit stop in Bens post above.

But cruise still does not work. Like i said i changed 44-steering assist from

previous code 0000012

New code 0000042

Anything else to do?

Thanks

Ok my engine coding is

0203000318070060

looking at this 2.0l TFSI (AXX/BGB/BPJ/BPY/BWA) - Ross-Tech Wiki I need to change the 00 bit in the last 4 digits is this correct?

Yep, use the long coding helper and turn the tickbox on in Byte 6. That should have you crusin'

Hurray it works

Thanks for your help Ben. I bought the stalk second hand for £28 which came from a Mk5 golf so I was a bit skeptical but it's spot on.

No problem buddy, glad it's working, and for a bargain price too!!
