Vw golf adaptive cruise control

[Tony911 79]

Hi all, picked up a mk7 vw golf gt tdi on a 14 plate and is showing adaptive cruise control deactivated when starting the car and doesn't seem to work. Anybody had this issue?

Yes , unfortunately , it prob needs recalibrating .Pricey at a main agent but it does need proper Vagcom to set up so if you've got a good independent local that's your best bet .

Safe to say I'll not be buying another one soon !

Does the sensor in the bumper look like it has been knocked ?

 

Yes it does look a bit slanted

Needs to go on either Vag Com or ODIS and see what the trouble codes are for.

 

A simple removal of the bumper is enough to get the radars out of line.

 

Speak to a local bodyshop that does insurance work, supposedly there is a mobile guy near us that looks after all of the local bodyshops.
