I think he was referring to the cruise control switch but I could be wrong.

Ah, ok.
I got both the clutch and the brakeswitch. Still the same faultcode.
And i did some more resistance measurements on the cruiseswitch (one the cables).
Everything seems ok, and the 12V also.
What can i do next, just the VCDS option left now?

Did you find a solution for this problem or just gave up?

I have the same problem:
TLDR; Bought the car used 2 months ago with owner claiming CC has fuse issue and hired a mechanic to fix it and mechanic claims car does't have CC at all


I have the same model car (Fabia mk2 2008) diesel 1.4 engine. just recently bought the car and owner said Cruise was working and stopped working few months ago before I bought.
Then got a new story from a mechanic I visited to fix the problem with Cruise control and his words were "This car probably don't have cruise and lever was replaced with something different"
his argument was when I pull the lever in (blinkers) it shows both down light and purple light (normal and high beam) icons on the meter which is not correct.

I am completely new to this so forgive me for any mistake in explaining the problem.

Mechanic connected the OBD device (link below) from THINKCAR brand and found no error code in the system.
