It would be great news to know that my cruise is worth fixing. However I suspect that the one in your GTS is much different than the one in my '79. Do your comments apply to the OB units as well? Is mine vacuum or electronically controlled?
From a controls perspective they are basically the same - the only issues with the vacuum actuator is that its more prone to issues from leakage (as others have pointed out). When woking as intended its equally good...

Got any ideas of where to start on mine, it works after I put a reman control unit in, all the vacuum parts are good.
It just does not hold to what is set, varies by 4-5 MPH, and always goes down 2-3 MPH from the initial setting.
I wish my car had the following fitted, I'll probably find out there are even more that I didn't know about, oh well...
Heated seats
Adjustable lumbar
Cruise control
LSD
I haven't included Air Bags or Rear Screen Washer as they were't available on my MY.
Any examples of easily Retro-Fitting a Factory Option?
Rear Screen Washers (vs wipers?) were never a standard option in any model year - only available as a custom special from the factory.
I have added H4 Headlamps (an easy retrofit) Electric Headlamp Adjusters (a hard retrofit), ROW fog/aux lamps (a hard retrofit), rear washers (a quite complex install).
Most of what I have added were not yet factory options (but would have become std/options over time based on other Porsche model features - just in catch up mode...)

Mine did the same thing after I re-flowed the solder joints. I read somewhere that there is an electronic part in there that is used to modulate the speed and it goes bad.

I have a spare unit from a 89 that I may try, I have heard they will work in a vacuum system.
