Hiya People

Can anyone help me answer a question I would like to get to the bottom of

I have a 2.0L 4 pot year 2000 W reg non drive by wire facelift and i am getting the parts i need to get Cruise control installed on it

I have the Cruise Stolk
Am waiting to have delivered 4 pin brake switch & Clutch Switch, And Cruise unit, I will have to buy a Actuator Cable for my 4Pot as the Cruise Box is off a V6.

Now when I have all the Bits I have read that a Year 2000 (mine) still needs the ECU setting for Cruise to work

I thought this was only for Drive by Wire Cars that need the ECU set with a Tech2 for cruise I.E 2.2 2.6 and 3.2 Is this Correct ?

I Hope I dont have to have a Tech2 set it as ts costing me enough for the bits as its rare to get a 2.0 With Cruise

If it's a cable throttle, I don't think you'll need to do anything with the ECU...

No IMO the ECU will not need programming.  Suggest that you install the kit and test it.  My money is that it will work.

Re the actuator cable (I'm guessing here) it may be that a veccy cable fits, if so then I'd look out for one of these from a scrappy.  Someone else may have a better idea here

I guarantee no Tech2 work required for you to enable cruise.  If there is, I will personally come down to you and do it for free

Thank God For that Phewwww Thanks for answering the question  

Ill hold you to your kind offer TB if it does need a tech2 but i am guessing with an offer like that from yourself you are 100% sure it does not need doing Phewww

Are all cruise control boxes the same IE a V6 one will work on a 4 pot just wondered as my ECU is a Siemens Simtec 56.5 and a v6 is a Bosch Motronic

Hummm a vetra cruise cable thats a good idea ill keep my eyes open

Oh yes, I am very confident

Cruise ECU does not speak directly to ECU.  There are variations by year, but unimportant as far as you are concerned.
