S40 V40: How to install cruise control

[Alex121]

I spoke to Gary a few days back and he's busy away on work at the moment so isn't around on here as much as usual.

The forum broke his images during the sever change so he emailed them to me. I'll re-add them to the thread for those who need them.

I would post actual images but I'm still having issues with embedding pictures on the forum so you can download them here yourself:

As per my previous post, you don't need most of the stuff. You don't need the control box either. All you need is the things I highlighted in red. Your car is a diesel with a fly by wire throtle body. The cruise control on the 1.9D is operated electronically by the ECU and not the air pump



You are missing one bracket that goes on the brake pedal



You will then have to take you car to a Volvo dealer to program your ECU to use the cruise control, and that will cost about 200-250 Euro minimum

I got a installation guide for that (from Volvo....) if you need feel free to contact me
