I'd love to have it done but I live in Notts... why? Do you run a garage that does this?
Cheers, Jules

I'm wondering why TDIs specifically? Is there something about these models which makes CC easier to add?
I think the reason is that the current CC is all done in electronics and just needs the switchgear fitting. However, this version of CC only works with 'drive by wire' cars (ie cars where the throttle is a rheostat, rather than mechanical linkage. TDi cars have been DBW for longer than petrol versions. The majority of Audi petrol enines went over to DBW during 2000.

Thanks :)
Mine is a 2000 A4 1.8T Quattro Sport (facelift) UK, is it DBW?
Err... don't hold me to this, but I believe that it should be.
