Daughter's car. Woke up one morning with all 4 windows down and car not locked. Cause - water in relay tray (diagnosed later) and door lock paddle broken.
Replaced paddle and lock cylinder and door lock. Central locking re-activated. Windows only closing on key. Replaced original lock, windows still closing on key - and central locking OK. Returned new lock - not cause of problem. Having diagonosed missing gromet on bonnet release cable - cause of water damage, garage replaced relay tray and repaired broken wire on driver's door. Windows didn't function on switches - only on locking by key but would drop down. On garage advise replaced drivers door window motor with a replacement from the rear offside Vento and all seemed OK. Have used car for 2 days - windows opening and closing OK on swithes and on key. This morning - shock horror and dismay! Front passenger window down and rear offside window down. All windows close on the key. As key is removed, front passenger window and offside rear window creep down with a downward indexing motion. Cannot raise either on respective door switches. Can hear a ticking inside door panel. Have disconnected battery.
??? Could 3 motors go down within 2 days or is there something very elementary that I have overlooked. http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/images/icons/icon8.gif
