Golf/GTI VI :: 2011 - Cruise Control Malfunction Icon On MF Display?

I have a 2011 GTI, has about 4000 miles on it. Sunday went for a quick ride down some FM's and on the hi-way. Got up to about 85mpg for about 10 miles, hit the exit back to the house which is only about a mile away. On that mile ride home I took it real easy maybe 35-45 mph decided to have a little AC also (outside temp 90F degrees).

I pulled into the garage sat and idled for about 30 seconds, on the MF display up pops the Cruise Control Malfunction icon ( amber on the MFI,But the owners manual says it's RED. it's a cruise symbol with a giant exclamation ) then it goes away. I looked at my cruise stalk, cruise was Off. I turned it on and up Pops the Malfunction Icon again then goes Off. Took the GTI back out and No Cruise malfunctions. Also, when I did finally park the Car both cooling fans were on for at least 4-5 mins after I had shut everything down.

Did I run my little GTI too hard? Is the Cruise control Malfunction icon like a nuisance message that doesn't really mean anything or, is it a sign CC it's already toast, or getting ready to go.

Passat (B5) :: 1998 - Cruise Control Not Working

I just purchased my 98 1.8t manual and for the most part it was a steal. Only 108k miles. Everything is strong just a few minor things. Right now I want to get my cruise control working. Is there a light in the dash that goes on? What are the fuses related to it? Nothing happens when I turn it on or hold the button to set it. what should I look for?

Passat (B7) :: Cruise Control Setting Mismatch With Speedometer

Noticed a mismatch of 3-4kms between Cruise setting and speedometer? Example, when i set my cruise to 100km/h my speedometer needle actually indicates 103km/h. I took it to the dealer and they said it is normal because the cruise and speedo get their speed signals from different sources.

Passat (B6) :: Intermittent Cruise Control Failure Due To Dying Battery

We began to get an intermittent cruise control failure (big exclamation point in the lower left of the MFD and no green "cruise" when the lever was clicked to "on") in my wife's 2007 2.0T Passat several months ago. During the same period she told me that the car occasionally didn't want to crank...although it always started on a second try. Well, to make a long story short, I had the battery replaced at the 60K service a couple weeks ago and the cruise has worked flawlessly ever since.

I put two and two together just before I took it in for service when the car showed failure of the antiskid system in addition to the cruise following a particularly difficult start. Sure enough, the new battery fixed it. Apparently some of the accessory systems go into a failure mode when they don't get enough current on startup.

Passat (B6) :: 2006 VW - Cruise Control Current Speed Display

When I first got this car about 2 months ago, my current speed would be displayed in the MFD when the cruise control was set to on (not activated and in use). For some reason now that no longer happens and it just shows dashes. The only time the speed is displayed now is when I am actually using the cruise control. Is there a way to get that thing back to showing my present speed like it did before?

Passat (B5) :: Cannot Engage Cruise Control - Intermittent Failure On 1999 VW

I have a 1999 VW Passat that has a problem with its cruise control that two dealers have not been able to solve. Most of the time I cannot engage the cruise control. Other times it will work properly for 30 minutes. On a rare occasion, it will work properly for several hours. It does not seem to matter what type of road I am driving on. On the rare occasions when it works properly, it does not seem to matter if I stop the care and shut off the engine.

It appears is is there are times when it stops working that stopping the care and shutting off the engine is useful when I begin driving again. However, there is nothing consistent about when it fails, and when it again functions. The dealers have said little more than the cruise control is not working. One dealer installed a new break pedal sensor which did not resolve the problem.

Passat (B6) :: 2006 - Showing Cruise Control Exclamation Mark?

My 2006 passat is showing an exclamation mark beside the cruise control symbol in the instrument panel. And sometimes it will work for 3 months and then sometimes it will cut in and out every day.

So far it has been on for 3 days straight. Anything I can check to see why it is doing this?

Also It worked for 3 months until I un-hooked my battery to install an amplifier and it started messing up the next day again.
