Hi all,

I know this topic has been discussed several times here in the past, I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of mechanics who could retro fit cruise control into my 2017 Fabia (Monte Carlo 1.2).

I'm based in Milton Keynes and have contacted many mechanics, only one has got back to me willing to do the work (VW Retrofit in Redditch) but at well over £1k quoted it's out of my budget...

Any help or recommendations would be appreciated - I'm almost at the point of trying it myself (and trying to find someone to do the coding for me!). 

Thanks :)

VW Retro are one of if not the best at doing this. The parts you require are not cheap and it's not a simple job. £1000+ sounds right to have this done.

Hey pal, I had this done.

I was quoted £350 by a dealership to do this. Coding, Parts, Labour.

 

It went to ****e when they fit a faulty stalk and denied it was faulty, told me it "wasn't possible". The car remained coded for it, So I bought the stalk I needed from a breaking car off ebay, fit it myself and hey, it worked!
Then told the dealer I had it fitted elsewhere and got a full refund, so the £350 work only cost me £60.

 

If you need any part numbers or advice, let me know as this retrofit depends greatly on other compatible part numbers.

If you know how to remove a steering wheel and unscrew things, its quite easy to do. The part was £60 for me from a breaking car, brand new anywhere from £100-200. Coding would be about £50-100 for the part and labour.
