Hi all,
I purchased a repair kit from eBay and fitted it a few weeks back. After a few days I heard another PING and a crunch. So back to square one again.
I opened the door up and found that the metal bit that stops the cable from coming out of the regulator had broken. That'll teach me for...
Depends on the mileage you are doing, for me it was the 1.9Tdi as I had fairly high mileage each year with 60miles average per day. If it were less than 50/day I'd go for petrol. But if the price difference is high and the diesel is a lot higher then work out your miles to see is it worth it...
Mirrors are nice mate, wheels not so nice (I prefer OEM look like RS6 alloys) and the sticker on the rear windows is.....wayyyy too much pimp my ride, clean it off, it'll look better imo.
I have this too, and now it's also happening on the passenger side as well. The passenger lock is more painful as I have to use the key and push it into a slot when the door is opened. I must check wiring looms before I go and buy new locks.
I had the exact same issue about 2 years ago. I bought a new actuator and fitted it. Very simple fix, worked straight away. I tried all the usual first with penetrating fluid etc..but the actuator was shagged.
Thanks for advice guys, @amar06fbr - was only looking for aprt number for the regulator kit like in the post I linked to. However I did take docurley's advice and bought a repair kit from flea bay, so I'll see how hard it is to fit it. I'll update here when I'm done :)
Cheers all.
1 day and no replies....this place is really going down the swanny, a few years back you'd post a question and it would be answered in minutes. Surely someone here has ETKA or something like that to look up a part number!
Hi all,
My drivers side front wondow stopped this evening with a nice sounding ping, so I took the door apart and found a snapped cable that looks like a bicycle brake cable. So after some searching I found a very nice write up here to do a full Window Regulator replacement, however this is the...
Is your fuel cap locking fella?
I have exactly the same symptoms and I found my fuel cap actuator seems to be faulty so the car locks but not the drivers door so I have to insert the key and twist to do it.
Regards,
I have the same problem fella, I opened the boot liner and disconencted the solenoid connector, now the boot is 100% manual until I can get around to swapping out the solenoid. :)
Apologies for thread hijack first:
@Welly - does this part look like the CTS you purchased? I have the same fault on my Temp Disp.

Just bought a spare pump from ebay for around 20 quid. Had another go today finding it very difficult to get to the pump. Took out the passenger side headlight and was still unable to get to it. I was able to feel the flexi tube going to it though and it was wet, not sure if this was from the...
Come to think of it I replaced my front bulbs recently and don't remember using the washer since. I may have accidentially knocked something out or something similarily stupid. Cheers fella for the piccy and part numbers. I'll go out shortly once the rain stops to check it out.
So yesterday I try my washer and the wipers move but no water comes out, so when I get home i pop back out to fill the water tank and it's already 3/4 full. So I top it up and try the washer again and still nothing.
when the car is off and ignition is on I can hear a little click when i pull...
Sorry all - too many threads already on this subject.
I'm looking for a link to eBay shop or vag-parts alternative.
I bought mine from vag-parts (RIP) about two years ago and can longer refurbish them. Does anyone have a good source for them since vag-parts folded?
I bought them as A4...
