Everyone always says to check the vacume diaphragm that connects to the throttle linkage. You can disconnect the vacume line going to it, compress the diaphragm, and stick your finger over the vacume hose nipple. If the diaphragm doesn't move back then its fine. If it does then it has a hole in it and is probably the source of your problems.
I'd check the vacume hoses used in the Cruise control system, and also the switches on the brake and clutch pedal. There's also an outline for checking the system in the Bentley. On my GTI the switches on the stalks sometimes don't turn the cruise on, and I have to hold them down a few seconds longer than usual to get it to engage. Could be your problem? hope that helps -Denis ----- Original Message ----- From: "FLi GLi" <[email protected]> To: "A2" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2003 4:44 PM Subject: [a2-16v-list] Definitely NOT Cruisin' > > Ok, so I took the GLi for a drive today.
