My local breaker has a fabia vrs with cruise control, if i took out the stalk and loom out of the breaker could it be possible to transplant it to my vrs, i am aware that in will need coding but i dont know whether it will be able to work with another car?

Yep it will work, with coding ( assuming it even works that is).
But you need the full wiring too into the ECU not just the stalk itself.

TBH the stalks dont cost that much ( I think mine was about £70) its the fitting that costs there used to be a guy Techie that fitted them for reasonable fee. I did mine myself. So it better be dirt cheap for an unproven part.
Guides used to be on fabia-vrs.com but that got taken down so good luck finding fitting instructions.

 

At least you neednt worry about warranty and correctly terminating on bulk head like I did, you can do it the guided way originally and splice into loom somewhere.

I am still here (on occasion)

 

Removing the cruise control part of the loom from the main harness would be more work than just using the approved kit to retrofit anyway.

 

Warranty was never an issue for me even when they were new

Me neither, I terminated at bulkhead (edit without) touching cutting loom, but it was a tense time and a ball ache on a nearly new car  lol
( worked perfectly since too)

But for the hassle, I'd have just got you to do it

Decided not to do the transplant

the breaker quoted me £150, I dont know where he got that price from

Is that right ? Check with him he didn't mean £15 lol

Occasionally retro-fitted cruise doesn't work. A friend of mine had a September 2004 just pre-facelift car and it couldn't be made to work by the "acknowledged expert" who tried to install it.
