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?

Interestingly today it was behaving somewhat better.
Generally working, but occasionally use of "increase" would cause it to drop out, but pressing "set" would get it going again. So, no need to turn the ignition off today. However the two buttons are physically connected inside the switch (more like blocking each other as you can't operate both at the same time) so I suspect there's something slightly out of alignment inside there.

Mine does very similar things - I generally don't use increase/decrease functions as they're so slow to react anyway. If I want to change the set speed I just adjust as necessary and press set again.
I never have much opportunity to test in day to day use so it's only an infrequent annoyance for me so I've just lived with it as it is.

I use the cruise control regularly and it now works about 98% with no further "abuse" required. I think the previous owner(s) probably never did use it and as a result the switches were corroded/dirty. Regular use has presumably cleaned them up. All functions now work 100% except the "increase" slider and "ignition resets" are never required now. The "increase" function generally works as it should but just occasionally using it will turn off the cruise function, including forgetting the set speed. But as Adrian E pointed out it's hardly difficult to use your right foot then press "set", which works 100% nowadays.
