I’ve spent half the day searching this forum and think that I know the answers but would appreciate others confirming it….
I’m in the process of buying a manual 2018 (so facelift/FL) Black Edition 8V without auto hold and would like to retro-fit it.
I believe that on pre-facelift (PFL) cars then it can be coded in , either with or without a button.
Everything that I’ve read about the FL cars says that an error comes up if it’s just coded in without fitting the button/wiring as the system looks for an LED in a button that isn’t there.
Consequently, the only way to get auto hold to work in a FL car is to buy and fit the button /loom and code it in.
Have I got this right so far?
My next question is whether the loom/wiring for the switch is the same for PFL and FL models?
Are there any proprietary kits available from VAG to do this retrofit?
I fitted cruise control to my TT using a Genuine kit which came with switch and various looms as well as a wiring diagram and have come across an eBay seller with an auto hold kit comprising Genuine switch plus loom (which looks Genuine) but at £120 it seems rather pricey to me…..
Thanks.
