Well the B5 cars are known for cruise control failures as a result of either a bad stalk on the column (the turn signal stalk, where the CC controls are) or stress cracks in the solder of the control board (above the glovebox). Use the search feature on the forum and try combinations like "cruise control doesn't work" or "combination switch failure" and see what comes up. Also, check the Do It Yourself forum here, and check www.audidiy.com and www.audiworld.com (go to their tech area) for tons of feature procedures and diagnostic instructions for the cruise control and a wide variety of other features here. While you're at it, do a search for "easter eggs" and you'll find a thread that lists tons of hidden features of the B5 bodystyle, which you can use to customize the operation of the car to your particular tastes. And, finally, welcome to the Audi boards:)
