I have a 99 b5 wagon 1.5 5sp and my cruise works when it wants to. I play with it constantly while on the highway and it's hit or miss. Are there any know problems with the switch or other part that could make this an easy fix? the cruise seems to work fine when i can get it to work.
View 2 RepliesI have a 1999 VW Passat that has a problem with its cruise control that two dealers have not been able to solve. Most of the time I cannot engage the cruise control. Other times it will work properly for 30 minutes. On a rare occasion, it will work properly for several hours. It does not seem to matter what type of road I am driving on. On the rare occasions when it works properly, it does not seem to matter if I stop the care and shut off the engine.
It appears is is there are times when it stops working that stopping the care and shutting off the engine is useful when I begin driving again. However, there is nothing consistent about when it fails, and when it again functions. The dealers have said little more than the cruise control is not working. One dealer installed a new break pedal sensor which did not resolve the problem.
a friend has a 1999 passat and recently, the left turn signal has ceased to work. I searched and found that the hazard switch/relay commonly goes bad and can cause the signals to fail. It seems though, that in most cases reported on vortex, BOTH signals stop working, and sometimes the hazards too, or they will erratically flash giving a warning before the relay dies. This is not the case with this car. Driver side signal only.
View 3 RepliesI used to have LED brake lights in my taillights and decide to change them to old regular bulbs. After that Saturday 3am cruise control don't want to work. Then in the morning with all the lights off (headlights turns etc) the cruise works, as soon as I turn the lights on it stop working. I try to see the what's the cruise control fuse in the fuse card but I can't figure out which one is. 99 passat GLS manual trans.
View 1 RepliesOk so I'm driving again and the EPC ESP & CEL and "!" with the cruise control icon came on again. Car drove fine but I'm freaking SICK of this happening. I gotta get VWoA to fix this!!
View 7 RepliesI am looking to remove the entire cruise control system from my passat. Where the cruise control module is and what the cruise control module connects to? i know it needs a signal from the VSS, but what else?
View 2 RepliesMy Cruise control hasn't been working for a while now when i first bought the car it would work when it wanted to... sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't or even sometimes it would work then all of a sudden while its in cruise it would just stop working
Now I want to fix this problem and get it to work again what should i start to look for, what could be some common stuff that I should look for I heard the cruise control is a PITA to fix once they stop working. I don't know much about the cruise control so where i should start and what I should look for first...
Where is it on the 1999 passat V6?
View 3 RepliesAbout a year ago the cruise control in my 1998 Passat started to work intermittently. Now it is not working at all. I have tried to tap the stalk thinking that something could be loose. I have a 5 speed manual.
View 6 RepliesI just purchased my 98 1.8t manual and for the most part it was a steal. Only 108k miles. Everything is strong just a few minor things. Right now I want to get my cruise control working. Is there a light in the dash that goes on? What are the fuses related to it? Nothing happens when I turn it on or hold the button to set it. what should I look for?

View 5 RepliesI own a 1997 Passat VR6, dealership scanned and found that cruise control module needs to be replaced, but I want to do it on my own!! What is the location of the CC module.
View 2 RepliesNoticed a mismatch of 3-4kms between Cruise setting and speedometer? Example, when i set my cruise to 100km/h my speedometer needle actually indicates 103km/h. I took it to the dealer and they said it is normal because the cruise and speedo get their speed signals from different sources.
View 2 RepliesWe began to get an intermittent cruise control failure (big exclamation point in the lower left of the MFD and no green "cruise" when the lever was clicked to "on") in my wife's 2007 2.0T Passat several months ago. During the same period she told me that the car occasionally didn't want to crank...although it always started on a second try. Well, to make a long story short, I had the battery replaced at the 60K service a couple weeks ago and the cruise has worked flawlessly ever since.
I put two and two together just before I took it in for service when the car showed failure of the antiskid system in addition to the cruise following a particularly difficult start. Sure enough, the new battery fixed it. Apparently some of the accessory systems go into a failure mode when they don't get enough current on startup.
When I first got this car about 2 months ago, my current speed would be displayed in the MFD when the cruise control was set to on (not activated and in use). For some reason now that no longer happens and it just shows dashes. The only time the speed is displayed now is when I am actually using the cruise control. Is there a way to get that thing back to showing my present speed like it did before?
View 7 RepliesMy B5 1.8t 5M cruise control has stopped working. It became intermittent for a while and now it is dead. I have a long commute and really need the cruise to work.
View 2 RepliesMy 2006 passat is showing an exclamation mark beside the cruise control symbol in the instrument panel. And sometimes it will work for 3 months and then sometimes it will cut in and out every day.
So far it has been on for 3 days straight. Anything I can check to see why it is doing this?
Also It worked for 3 months until I un-hooked my battery to install an amplifier and it started messing up the next day again.
