Adding Cruise control 2.5 TD
« on: 29 December 2006, 19:25:13 »
Previous cars (Mazda 626, Honda Accord & Volvo V70s) had this & after 3 yrs without I still miss it
Can it be retro-fitted to a '96 2.5 TD Estate (BMW engine)? If so how easy is it?
Regards

Yup, plug and play on 25TD...  Fit the stalk and away you go :)

Note, the BMW 2.5TD takes a different cruise stalk to every other Omega - it needs to be the 2 wire cruise stalk...

Wow- what a fast response!
I don't suppose you know the VX part No. for the 2 wire version by any chance?

Have found the engine No.

Looks like chassis number is one you want, and you should be able to work out from above part nos... :)

Also check eBay for stalks, they can go cheap on there.

Double check which engine it comes from, as they don't always say.

I fitted a cruise stalk to a '95 TD Estate, just change the stalk and its job done  :y

Problem with 2nd hand stalks, is that these stalks tend to fail as they wear, causing all sorts of probs, mainly with full beam coming on when not required...

True. Some people must just abuse them, that one i took of a scrapped Carlton CDX worked a treat  :)

The extra weight of the cruise a stalk probably doesn't help....

And to quote Marks_DTM last time mine failed "It shows you use your indicators properly" ;) - apparently, the indicators wear a small slot in stalk, which cause the main beam to be on a hair trigger...

You would need the engine number, not just the VIN.

If the last handfull of the VIN equals the engine number (most cars do) then looks like the first one....

U25TD, X25TD T1000001-  9181012 12 41 221 1

The important bit seems to be T1000001- where the '-' means onwards.  The VIN does not reach the other end of the range where the next starts at X25TD  -11999999

Just reread....  Now I'm as confused as you!  It appears that your VIN will fit between both...   ::)

NEXT LUCKY ENTRANT PLEASE!!    ;D
