Skoda Octavia Cruise Control Problems

Cruise control malfunction on an Octavia often comes down to wiring issues. Have you had the car scanned for error codes? A faulty brake light switch can also disable the cruise control system, so that's another area to check.

Yes, there's an error stored. The diagnostics pointed to a possible cable or plug issue with one of the cruise control components. Is there a common point of failure I should be looking at specifically?

If the diagnostics already point to a cable or plug connection, especially related to the steering wheel controls, that's the most likely culprit. Trying to troubleshoot those connections without proper tools or experience can be risky, due to the airbag system. Probably best to visit a workshop, before you are facing an even more defective car.

You were spot on. The workshop confirmed a faulty connection in the steering wheel. 95€ later and cruise control is working again. Thanks for the help.
