The cruise control in that era S8 is a separate module which I presume operates a servo (vacuum driven?) of some sort as the throttle pedal physically moves. It is optional.

Later models are fly-by-wire and the cruise function is integrated into the engine ECU so you "just" need to add the stalk/switches.
What vintage of engine ECU are you using and is it designed to work with a separate servo cruise control, or are you trying to bypass that?
