Evening all

Firstly a big global 'thanks' to everyone who puts excellent technical help on here, it's an invaluable source of hints and tips!

Secondly does anyone know if the lack of a cruise control warning light on a '54 mk2 octavia can be remedied easily? I'm amazed it was ever designed that way and it's a bit disconcerting not to have any indication that the system is active, especially when mine has the odd day when it decides not to work. (I need to try the switch cleaning trick to see if that helps)

Thanks, Ian

I always thought the light was a little pointless tbh.

If you are staying at a constant speed and your foot isn't on the accelerator then cruise is on.

True, very true! It's the only car I think I've ever seen of any make that has the indicator on the dash and yet it's not wired in. Not to worry I guess!

There is light when the system is active. Does the warning light illuminate when you first turn the ignition on? Possible bulb failure.

But from doing a search on here it says it wasn't activated till Aug 06 builds

when i retrofitted my cruise contol on my 06 octy there is no light which tells if its on but as tech1e says you know its working when you set it.

Thanks for all the replies. Where do you search for the option codes? The car has an original maxidot display so presumably comes into the 'non-activated' bracket.

it is in the cluster

 

as said above, you know when cruise is on

 

although it is nice when you retrofit cruise and the light does come on

 

I fitted cruise to a caddy van, and there was no light. my first thought was why is it not working.

well that has saved me a job. I was going to ask why my cruise light didn't come on. now I

know why

Thanks for the link Mike, after a while typing in the option codes, it turns out that '6Y0' is indeed cruise control without warning system. Interesting also that GO2 is 'front shock absorption' - I'm glad they stipulated that on the original order!
