Volkswagen Cruise Control System
GTI, Golf, Jetta
DESCRIPTION
Cruise control operates at speeds greater than 22 mph (35
km/h). The system consists of the following components:
* Electronic control unit.
* Speed sensor at speedometer.
* Vacuum servo at throttle valve.
* Vacuum pump.
* Vacuum vent valves at brake and clutch pedals.
OPERATION
The control unit, using a signal from speedometer speed
sensor, compares the car's true speed to cruise control speed selected
by driver. The control unit then either turns on vacuum pump which
causes the vacuum servo to open the throttle, or opens a vent at pump
which bleeds air into vacuum lines to release throttle and slow the
car. If driver steps on either brake pedal or clutch pedal, a
combination vacuum vent valve and electric switch vents the vacuum
system and switches off cruise control.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
To get a complete check of cruise control system operation,
perform the series of test in Fig. 1 below.
If results of test are as specified, there are no vacuum
leaks and system still does not function properly, control unit is
faulty and must be replaced.

Other system faults may be caused by leaks in system vacuum
lines or other components. Check vacuum lines and connections
carefully.
To leak test vacuum servo, remove vacuum line, squeeze servo
until it is fully depressed, and then plug vacuum line connection. If
servo does not hold its depressed position, it is faulty and should be
replaced.
