UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Ok I recleaned several times but no joy. In the end I took the car to main dealer who pulled out the left door flange female connector and found broken a broken wire and further corrosion behind the connector body itself. Car is now being sorted by them and work comes with 2 year warranty. This shou...

I know this is a long time ago but did you ever get this sorted?

If yes what was the issue as I find myself in exactly the same position

Can anyone advise if the above is available as standard on a 2007 9n uk model? If it is available but not standard would it be possible to enable via the dealer or a friendly VAG COM owner? Second question is that my polo does not operate the windows using the key in the drivers door and holding it ...

Decided to do what whitegtipolo suggested i.e. go back into the connector and give it a real good clean using electrical contact cleaner and then grease up.

Also intend to return the motor and ECU to the dealer. 20% restocking charge but hey I still get back £130.

Picked up the new motor and ecu from the main dealer and fitted it today. It hasn't fixed the problem. Symptoms remain as before. Any ideas? Is there any read across between this problem and the fact that holding the key lock in the door does not open and close the windows? Incidentally I also chang...

Ok no joy with the auto electrician so I have ordered the new part from main dealer. Plan to fit on the weekend and will post update. Parts department said that it's a simple three torx bolt removal and replacement for the complete unit. Is this true? I don't want to remove the motor and disturb any...

The auto electrician has a mate who is a vw specialist and he said that he would speak with him later this evening to see if he has an ecu in his big box of bits. If not I'll probably suck my teeth and buy the whole unit new and just swap over the ecu. I'll then have a spare motor if needed. Thank y...

Thanks alexperkins that's definitely the unit.

What I would prefer though is just the ECU and for it to be new. On web at the moment but it's not coming up in isolation

Ok so the auto electrician ran the diagnostics and confirmed that it is the ECU on the motor.

Problem is that VW Main Dealer only sells the complete unit including the Motor and the ECU for £186.

Anyone know where I could pick up just a new ECU? They simply clip to the top of the motor assembly.

OK yet another update :) It remains temperamental. If I leave the car for a while and come back the left window doesn't work at all. I can reset it by removing the connectors from the left door hinge panel for a minute or two and the left switch starts working again. The right switch has also worked...

Ok so herewith a further update. I decided today to take off the passenger door card and have a look around. It was all relatively clean inside but as the window has probably not been operated for some time I decided that it would be good to liberally coat all of the moving parts with silicone spray...

Ok so I reset the comfort control module by disconnecting the battery and grounding the positive lead from the battery (capacitive discharge). Didn't really have any effect other than I had to reset the digital clock and type in the radio code. Decided to double check the door hinge free end connect...

I have a further build which may be important. I have read that it's possible to open the electric windows by putting the ignition key in the door lock and holding it in the open position for 10+ seconds. Likewise same for closing the windows. I have tried this but it does not work. Now wondering if...

Hi guys! Just bought the above car for my daughter as a first vehicle and totally love it. I have just one niggle that I am working on, and that is the electric window on the passenger side. I have trawled the forum and have seen lots of electric window issues, along with pointers on how to fix. Hav...
