I dont believe it. Well actually i do because its happened. After about a week of it dying on me, my driver's side window has come back from the dead to help me in my time of need. Well not really a time of need but I tried it on the off-chance as i went through the McDonalds drive through. I'm guessing its just a dodgy conection some where so that will have to be looked at somepoint. Haha any way I'm chuffed.

You could probably get them off the VAG parts link from the bottom of the forum.

i just got a polo and the drivers window didnt work.passengers worked perfect but checked the fuses...nothing wrong,checked relays...still clicking...nothing wrong, put my ear to the door and i could hear a ticking/clicking sound also,so i knew it was something other then the motor.took the door card off undo the motor and slide it out of the mount slightly but not all the way,sprayed some wd40 in there to lube it up abit then quickly pressed the button and hay prestow it all came into life,put everything back together and i havant had a problem since...i cant tell you what was wrong or how i fixed it but as much as i can tell is that it had just seized slightly and needed a little help.

My drivers side window was like this, it slowed down till it stopped working, i stripped the door down took the glass out to get motor out easier and lubed the motor a bit more, rebuilt it and now its fine

Does anyone know the part of the mechanism which is prone to going? Because if its a certain bit that has gone on 9 out of 10 peoples car chances are thats whats gone on mine.
Did anybody download the window repair tech video?

Anyway: It's not that big of a repair, judging from the video. What video? This 25 meg German VW video.
Did anybody download the VW window repair video referenced in this thread? The link is now dead and I can't find it anywhere else on the web. If you did and you're able to send it on to me plase let me know. I will then host it and make it available to download.
Thanks
Marc

Once the door card is off how do you remove the motor and mechanism and glass?
My motor makes nasty clunking grinding sound as if it has ceased up. My window will only open about 2 cm and has to be pushed up again. Is there a way of bringing the motor back to life?
Will a repair kit fix this or do i need a new motor completely.
