The coding for the stalks you need to go into
Control units - engine 01 long coding byte 5
bit 5 (cruise control ) in the drop down box tick installed then save
then go to steering column 16 long coding page 1 as the first page is in German
go to byte 02 then bit 4 (cruise control) in the drop down box select via turn signal lever and hit save.

Thanks gary. Iv only got obdeleven to code it in. Do u know if this will do it? And i dont understand german if u know how to swap it to english lol. Does the mk4 have the scm built into the slip ring as i cant seem to find one around the column?

You can do long coding in obdeleven but the descriptions in German can't be changed to read in English.
Garage > vehicle > modules > long coding (for the module you need, from the list) then select correct bytes and bits as above. Ignore descriptions in obdeleven, follow the instructions above and remember bit 0 is at the top of each section, for each byte. it's not like vcds where it's shown horizontally left to right. Bytes are left to right but bits are top to bottom below them.

Yes you can... like I said you need to click on the next page where I highlighted it in red and it will show you it in English.

Yes everything works as it should except the cc. I bought the stalks under the impresion they were genuine vw but theres no markings on them but they look the same as vw but dont feel the same when using the indicators if u get what i mean. I’ll search for a genuine set of stalks and see if that works. Thanks for ur help. Will keep u posted with the outcome.

Well guys iv got my cruise control all up and running. After buying what i thought were genuine stalks, turned out they wernt and would throw up the faults that i posted up, and they wouldnt clear. So i bought a set of real genuine stalks and the seller informed me that my slip ring wouldnt support cc. He gave me the part number of the slip ring i needed and that was purchased from ebay. Got them all fitted earlier today without any problems and the fault codes cleared and everything works as it should. Happy days!! Just waiting to see if i can send the non genuine stalks back for a refund.

Great to hear you got it sorted! Hopefully you can get a refund for the non-genuine stalks too.
