Cruise control retrofit on fabia 1

Featured Replies

Hello all,

Recently i bought a 2001 Fabia 1 1.9 Tdi 74kw, Car is quite nicely opted (webasto, sunroof, heated seats, AC all oem) however i m in need to somehow assemble to cruise control. Mechanically i don't have any issue and i have an idea what to do but my problem starting with locating correct harness.

1J0971425A part number i think is the correct harness however all of it coming with pins but without connectors so not ready to assemble.

Is there any way i can locate one ready to use or If anyone know for part numbers for connectors so i can do the pinning myself.

Cheers.

Once upon a time way a fabia vrs site with links but I can't tell you the address, it was something fabia vrs and maybe way back machine type sites will have info on the old site.

More than likely look about here in stickied advices and will find it.

Its quite a ball ache of a job if done properly, but then I had mine still under warranty ( way back to 2007-8) when I decided to do mine and properly terminated the ECU wire to the bulkhead. Out of warranty now obviously by decades just finding a way to the loom wire and spicing into it.

Steering wheel and airbag off and other stuff, stalk removal, laying out loom, coding etc too. Its not exactly DIY, good idea to have done canbus electrics before or get someone to do it as they aren't exactly expensive.

I bought this kit from Germany last year and everything worked perfectly:

I had to remove the entire dash to access the connection on the bulkhead so it's a solid days work unless you've done one before.

Thank you for your replies!

what I am wondering currently the socket itself that we put on comfort module. I finally be able to locate oem harness with oem stalk. just I think it's missing one connector for the pins. one connector to stalk, one brake pedal bypass for 12+, one pin to the socket already exists(pos 10) and the rest theoretically needs to have a socket to put and then I should plug it to the comfort module.

However I couldn't find that connector and the harness I found looks like exactly @sepulchrave shows.

@sepulchrave Did you used additional connector for that? If not how did you fill the empty slot on comfort module?

I used only the connectors supplied with the kit, one for the back of the new indicator lever, one or possibly two (memory fuzzy) that just plugged into empty sockets on the module between the relay board and steering column, a connector that piggybacked onto the brake pedal switch plug which opened like a clamshell, and the toughest was inserting the pin into a blank space on a plug from the ECU bus on the bulkhead way behind the instrument cluster which necessitated the whole dash coming out.

Reassembly was the reverse of disassembly, I had one spare screw IIRC.

6Q0 937 702A is the connector body that fits the onboard supply control unit (BCM) in the necessary position, I think.

£5.95 + VAT at Skoda if you can persuade them to order something so cheap.

Thank you all! I was lucky enough to locate complete oem kit and now that one cable for t11a connector is haunting me D

Please correct me if i am not wrong, but i need to somehow remove the comfort module and relay carrier. however there is a harness( the red cables to 40A fuses) are almost wrist thick and blocking the comfort module from pulling out. do you know any workaround to this situation?

Thanks!

Yes, stick the wire through the firewall anywhere you like (extending it if necessary), then find the cable it needs to connect to in the engine bay.

I think on my Fabia I sent it through behind the glove box, near the ECU, and spliced it into the relevant wire coming out of ECU over there.
