Retrofit cruise control / sensor pack

Post by Lesjordans »

Hi, I'm new here having bought a new polo match 1.2 in white yesterday :) To avoid having to wait ages for it to be custom made, i just bought one I could get quite soon however one thing I wanted (and had planned on getting with the Up! until I changed my mind at the last minute) was cruise control. Does anyone know if it's possible to have it fitted once I get it by the dealer??

Thanks for the reply

Would the dealer be able to get this part or would I have to do it myself do you think? And could they refuse to fit it?
When I asked about getting the sensor pack they said it would be a 3 month wait but no mention of fitting cruise control later on :?

Glasgow so no good for me sadly. Phoned up the dealer and they seemed willing to do it but apparently the software is undergoing an update because it kept setting off engine management warnings? so I can't get it just now and I've to phone back in a month or so, hopefully itll be sorted by then!
