Apologies for English, I have no German.

Can Cruise Control be fitted to 1.2 TDI tiptronic?

Hi Erling
I don't know the answer but was hoping one of our German friends could help. A good starting point would be for someone with a European price list to advise if cruise was listed as an option on this model.

Cheers Spike

Hello,

yes this has been done by several German 1.2 drivers, but it does cost about EUR 380 plus fitting.

Systems used are Waeco MS800 or Zemco AP 500 for instance.

See:

www.umfeldbeleuchtung.de do carry out the complete Zemco fitting.

Hello Mod!

Please move this thread to the Modifications-forum. It’s better kept there...

Cheers

The 1.2's arn't Tiptronic, I believe its a CVT transmission (Multitronic in Audi speak). Tiptronic is a full auto box with paddles on the steering wheel - I dont think the 1.2's have paddles (do they?) - CVT gives better consumption and performance over a true torque splitting auto box.

So, I presume the 1.2 cant have Audi cruise retro fitted like the 1.4 - I imagine its got a fly-by-wire throttle but I guess if its not a factory option then 3rd party cruise is the only option (which can be fitted to virtually any car).

Having tried to fit cruise to Erlings 1.2, I can tell you for certain that the Audi cruise system will not work witht e 1.2s engine ECU.

It would seem that the channels normally used to carry cruise data are used to carry the transmission data on the 1.2, so aftermarket is the only way.

Cheers,

... so aftermarket is the only way.

Yes Skipton01 is correct, the A2 1.2 does need a different version of cruise control due to the lack of another free channel. The above mentioned “ZEMCO AP 500“ unit works flawlessly according to several 1.2 drivers over here. No complaints at all...
