Been reading this with interest as i thought mine was a bit hit and miss until yesterday on whether it would work or not.
I think I've realised I've been trying to activate cruise incorrectly for the S8 based on what I've always done with the 2004 A6 we have! I usually flick the switch left to turn cruise on and then just hold it left to increase speed at the same time so I don't get a drop in road speed while it has a think.
It seems the S8 doesn't/won't activate like this, despite the stalk looking identical - if I use the push 'set' button on the end of the stalk having switched on cruise then it was reliably cutting in and I could then use the slider to increase speed, give or take the occasional cut out from the system.
Very rare I use cruise round these parts, but being on the M25 at 6am with lots of average speed checks and a couple of nice tunnels to run through needed a bit of self imposed restraint!!
