Thanks lee I can't get link at moment as iam using my pda as laptop is getting fixed do u know if I need to drill out rifits to get metal panel off I need to take it off anyway to reseal it as it leaks lol

 

[LEE69]

The panel is held on with bolts to the door.

Do I need to drill out the rifits and the pop rifits to get the hole metal panel off or do I leave the motor on and the rifits on.

No its quite simple ul find the plastic part where the cables wrap around to move the windows has failed mine has done the same, All u do is unbolt the metal part an it comes off no drilling involved watsoever and i think for a replacement its around £30 seen a few on ebay

 

[leeanne carr]

Do I need to take the motor off then the panel or will it all come off in one plus do I touch the 4 pop ridits in the metal panel thanks for all your help by the way I just fixed my brake switch it had just jammed thank god

 

[leeanne carr]

I had a go and yes its the black plastic part the motor attaches to has broke off plus looks like I need a need cable as the wire has got cought and is damage where could I get one from could I go to skoda or vw as I live far from seat plus what do they call that part anyone in south wales got any spare ones lying around lol had to ask

 

[HallycupraR]

You have to replace the whole part wires included its called the regulator try ebay just looked an there between £20-£30 look easy enough to do

Thanks will try set a account up but if not would the regulators be the same at a skoda or vw dealer and is that part a main dealer part only

 

[HallycupraR]

i was readin about this on the VW forum so i can only assume its the same (looks it) Best bet is to ring your local VAG dealer An ask for the Window regulator an ask if it would fit you car, i think from dealers your looking around £45-£50

Thanks for the replys will have a look at the door lock mechanism. any ideas wlecome.
