A couple of weeks ago I was fixing the shrunken leather on the dash, had the instrument cluster removed and noticed that some bulbs were missing. Put a bulb in the cruise control warning light to see if it would work (2.8 Facelift Z3 M52/TU with retrofitted cruise control). As I have subsequently read it didn’t light up.
Driving to Zedfest yesterday the CC wouldn’t engage. The ABS light was on, it occasionally throws codes for the front sensors and pump that will need to be fixed. I assumed the CC wouldn’t engage because of the ABS warning light.
Returning home this afternoon no ABS light and a 50mph average limit, couldn’t engage CC again by moving the stalk forward or backwards, pushed it down to see if it would reset. The CC light lit up and I could set the speed and accelerate/decelerate as normal. The light toggles on or off if I move the stalk up or down.
The only reason I can think of is that last week I fitted a 3.0 manifold with a Remapped ECU from Digital-Tuning.co.uk and this behaviour is coded.
Bottom line, I now have a Z3 with a working cruise control light.
