Can cruise control be fitted to a 172 cup?

[matthew1987]

as above and if you can how is it done?

 

[p@blo]

Out of interest, why would you want to?

 

[matthew1987]

On long motorway journeys it would be great as my foot starts to ache after an hour or 2!

Anything can be done if you have enough money.

But it will be expensive iirc.

New ecu etc?

 

[matthew1987]

If i find a 172 or 182 in the breakers what bits would i need? or is it not as simple as that?

 

[172Ben]

I dont think its as simple as going to a breakers yard, and taking out the parts you need and slapping them on.

probably be cheaper just to buy a 172 with CC already.

Sure someone will confirm though. Or have a search, its been asked before.

think you need the abs system but dont quote me on that

 

[Sargara]

^ Does that mean its easier to fit Cruise Control onto a normal 172 that has ABS?

 

[Aluco]

Could I fit it to a ph1 ? they have abs.

Some PH 1 have cruise control.........sticky throttle cable

Use a brick

Would be much harder (thought I don't doubt cruise could exist for the phase 1) - it's the fact that it has a throttle cable rather than drive by wire means that it'd be more than getting a the switch in the dash plugged in and approopriate sterring controls; it's need a way to module the throttle cable (usually a solenoid motor somewhere).

Was in Renault yesterday so I asked them for a price......






I lolled!







..... £942 to retro fit it to a 172ff.
