VW Passat station wagon cruise control no longer works

Hello, something similar happened to me with my 2005 VW Golf (gasoline engine). I am not a car mechanic, but I do have some experience with cars. My control unit was defective. Had to have it repaired in a garage, cost 1000 euros. I may be able to help you more if you give me more information about your car, then I can answer in more detail. Does your car have any other symptoms?

Hi, thanks for your reply. Just to be clear, my car has already covered 189147 km. Any other symptoms? Hmm, I really can't think of anything right now. Do you have any other guesses as to what the fault could be?

Hello again! With so many kilometers it can really have many causes. Your cruise control system could be faulty or perhaps just a simple fuse that needs replacing. This can be due to a lot of electrical components. In my case at the time, it was the control unit. Take a look at your fuses, they are easy and cheap to replace. But if the problem persists, I would recommend that you visit a garage instead of trying to fix the problem yourself. Car electrics are a complex field. At a good garage, they can connect the car to a diagnostic device to read the fault code and fix the problem. It could be expensive, but it's better to get the problem fixed professionally before it causes major damage. Hope this helps you!

Mmm, that sounds plausible. I'll have a look at the fuses, maybe it really is just that. And if the problem persists, I'll call a garage tomorrow. I really don't want it to cause any major damage - that would be even better! Nevertheless, your experience has really helped me. Thanks again for your advice, I really appreciate it!
