I've fitted the cruise control (at the official dealer, something around 120€ part, 60€ labor) and it works perfect, very smooth, very easy to operate (although it is an old design, not having +/- speed setting on the outside button).

 

What I've now noticed is that my accelerator pedal response is somewhat different, I'm trying to beleive it's in my head but my shifts are very jerky (for now), as if I'm driving a completely different car?! When letting off the acc pedal the revs drop down a bit slower than before, or are held for a fraction of a second longer.

 

Is this some mode of accelerator pedal the cruise control works with to make it smoother or something? Anyone with similar experiences? This is all with cruise control off, the car pulls strongly as always, just this difference...
 

Bear in mind I've been driving this same car for 12 years now and have that "something's odd" feeling with this.

Must've been the ECU reset, after a few days things came back to normal - cruise control works exceptionally well.

The jerky ride returned shortly after I wrote the above. I also experienced when cruise control is on, and pressing the clutch, the revs first increased and then dropped, whereas they should instantly drop.

 

Told this to the dealer in hope they solve it and they suspected the clutch switch, ordered me in but I instead had a look, and what did I find - the clutch switch was cluttered with wiring and didn't work properly, meaning it didn't register I pressed or released the clutch properly. Moved the wiring loom around the switch, cleared the path and everything works flawlessly as it should.
