nasty noise when operating window.

[rolfather]

Hello peeps,does anyone have any ideas on what is wrong with our passat window winder mech.When operating the drivers side front electric window there is an awful scraping/screaching noise.It's getting progressibly worse now and it's got to the point where i'm not wanting to use it anymore.Any ideas on what to do most appreciated.

Hi Rolfather

Happened to me last month then give way completly.. window glass straight down....

Plastic guide broke for the wire guide

Under warranty so not a big issue..

Move quick as ecp have 25% off nearly everything and this is a £50 item.. well the complete mech and its worth it compared to the kit you can buy..

its the cable on the window motor,it becomes frayed and will eventually nip and as pcdoctor says it will drop window.if you are handy enough it is easy changed i have replaced front passenger and back driver on my 02 passat.it comes as a complete panel with the motor built in.

Buy a cable replacement kit off Ebay
