Retro fit of cruise Control to a 940.

[bobf192]

Hi
I have a 1997 940 Celebration 2.3 LPT, how difficult would it be to install Cruise and what would I need in bits, also if I have an intermittent speedo (who doesn't?) would that affect the operation of cruise.
Cheers
Bob

The car is pre wired for cruise control. You need the column switch, vacuum pump, throttle reel, bellows, some tubing, pedal switches and the control box and fly lead.

As to whether the intermittent speedo will be an issue it depends. The cruise looks at the ECY speed sigmal. If there is a problem with the tone ring in the axle it won't work properly. It won't care if the speedo itself is faulty.

The speedometer in my 1994 944T was bad when I bought the car. The cruise control would not work. Installing a good speedometer made the cruise control work.

If there's any interest, I could post scans of the original cruise control fitting instructions.

There's interest alright, but how difficult and expensive is it to get the parts?? :)

Yes please.

[SashaG]

No, that was used.

As promised, here's the installation manual for the KONSTANT FART device, as the Swedes call it :D

Cheers,
Sasha

PS: perhaps this could be made into a sticky?

Does anyone know if this system can also be put onto a 700?

I have an August '94 Wentworth 940 which has the second OBD box with a connection in the socket for testing Cruise Control. Does this mean it is likely to be wired up for it?
If so I would be very interested in the details of how to make the conversion...
Where did you get your kit SachaG?

Yes it can. The two parts that differ on the 700/900 cars are the brackets for the vacuum bellow and the throttle pulley. These depend on engine. The stalk is of course also different for the 760/960 post 1988 but the 740 has the same stalk as the 940.
