Volkswagen Jetta Cruise Control Components

Cruise control is a system that is directly responsible for controlling the throttle of a car. Its function is to maintain the set speed, which it does by monitoring the actual speed and automatically opening/closing the throttle. There are two key requirements that such a system must be able to meet. First, its controls must be conveniently positioned, and second, it must automatically switch off once the brakes are applied. The former is important because as a driver, you don’t want to be distracted from what is happening around. As for the latter, you don’t have time to manually switch off the system in case of an emergency.

That’s why your Volkswagen Jetta’s cruise control has to be intact. If it’s not, you may get in trouble - imagine your car attempting to accelerate while you’re desperately hammering the brake pedal. The good news is that cruise control isn’t a very sophisticated system. It’s just a servomechanism, a collection of switches, a few buttons and some wiring, which means that the repairs are unlikely to be complicated. The bad news is that Volkswagen genuine parts will make it pretty expensive. That’s what our Volkswagen Jetta cruise control components can help with. We carry aftermarket replacements from trusted aftermarket manufacturers that offer the same as OE fit, function, and reliability at a much lower price.
