Caddyslammed 16 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hope you don't mind me asking here but so many knowledgeable people on here and minimal nonsense so it makes sense to me . My missus ha got a 1999 A3 SE 5 door, and the drivers side front electric window started playing up a bit like my old mk3 golf one did, when you try and close it it would go up a bit then just go right down on it's own, and now it does nothing at all can't move it at all! Is it the same deal as the mk3's like the regulator or switch? What ya reckon? If I fix it that could be her valentines prezzie haha romantic I know.... Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I won an Audi a3 at the auction by accident once I have 2 regulators and motors left. I would prefer collection though as they are as big as the door in the frame. I could strip the reg out I suppose. I will upload pics if needed mate.Dave Link to post Share on other sites
Caddyslammed 16 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 You think it's the reg and not the switch? Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Remove the switch and bypass it if you have your doubts. If you still have the fault then it will be the regulator. Link to post Share on other sites
Caddyslammed 16 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 thanks mate, i bet it is the regulator Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 If its the reg you will get something crunch of severed wire or something. If your getting nothing then its the motor or switch! Link to post Share on other sites
Caddyslammed 16 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 well i dont know if it is the motor or reg, no noises at all, missus said the switches got covered in snow at christmas..? Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 On the A3 the whole Door pillar glass and reg comes away from the door its a massive unit. Its a pitty your so far away cos you could have the pair with motors and everything for £40 providing I haven't turfed them lol Link to post Share on other sites
