It worked fine on the test drive and bringing the car home. Then in the very cold weather it hardly ever worked. Now it's bit warmer it's in part-time mode and any operation of the speed change (up or down) can cause it to drop out. I guess I'll be out tomorrow to attack the switch with the cleaning fluid.........  (no box to change on this one)

I purchased a new stalk from Audi about 2 years ago and changed it. And it was dropping out when trying to increase speed from day one. I figured out it only drops out when I push it completely to leftmost position. If I push it just a bit it works fine.

No. When I push (or push-and-hold) left, which means increase speed, it will drop off if I push it fully left. If I push (or push-and-hold) left just a bit, not fully left, then it will work tip top.

Well having given mine a good clean and a good "thrashing" it's now consistently part-working.
 Just about useable, but annoying. The "set" button on the end is now working, almost all the time, both for setting speed and reducing it.  Touching the slide switch turns cruise off.  Doesn't matter how hard/softly or how much or in which direction, so there's no way of increasing speed in increments. You have to accelerate and press "set" which is a tad annoying but not a major hardship I guess. Grates though.

Very odd. This morning I indulged my cruise stalk with some serious "substance abuse" - well loads of WD40 and a good thrashing.
It then started working perfectly! Drove a couple of miles and every function worked as it should (except possibly the "resume"). Stopped briefly (delivering some stuff) and got back in the car, tried it when I could and it seemed to set, but then I tried to increase speed with the slider and it dropped out. After that it wouldn't work at all.  No opportunity to stop the car before getting home in case the system needed some sort of reset. More abuse and testing as and when I can. Edit: been out again (looking at that RS4 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5963 ) and it's working again. But the "increase" slider is intermittent and when it stops doing what it should it fails totally until ignition off/on. And the "resume" never seems to work. Meanwhile any thought from anyone on on these 2 questions: 1. Is anyone aware of the system needing a reset of any sort after a glitch? 2. As I asked (maybe not obviously) earlier in this thread, is there any way of taking apart the switch section without taking it off the car? There are no obvious screws so I'd guess there are covers that can be levered off, or is it all glued? Has anyone taken one of these off and investigated the faulty one to see what's wrong inside? I would given the chance - anyone want to send me a faulty one?

) for a while. Then, after doing a speed increase it cut out and refused to do anything, even using the slider to turn it off and back on.  Luckily I was able to stop easily (advanced planning ) and turn the ignition off and on, after which it started behaving again. So are there any further inputs or thought from anyone on these old/revised/renewed questions: 1. Has anyone experienced the CC system needing a reset of any sort after a glitch or have any idea why? (both why glitches and why reset) 2. Is there any way of taking apart the CC switch section without taking it off the car to investigate/adjust/clean the contacts?
