Cheers guys, went in today to pick up the door trim and tell them I was p!ssed off with their service. They said "oh". Couldn't even be bothered to apologise. Local independant will get any future work.

I took my Fabia to the dealer last week because the window had stopped working. No clicking or anything from it so I thought it was the motor. I asked them to check that they had the regulator in stock as I had been told by a different dealer that the motor and regulator were on piece. They said they had it in stock and they could have done for me in 45 mins (great seeing as I have a 1 year old child with me). Almost 2 hours later they say its the motor which they don't have and I'll need to leave it overnight. Well I can't so they charge me £105 to take the door apart and leave it that way. My wife goes in 3 days later to wait 1 1/2 hours to be tolf they didn't order all the needed part. I now have to go in again to be charged another £170 for the motor and god knows what else to put the trrim back on! What would be a reasonable charge to replace the motor and can I get it cheaper elsewhere? I live in Southampton, so the **** dealer is Freeborn in case anybody is tempted to go there.

Cheers. Very handy, but the local VW place won't do it till August:confused:

Anyone know the part no for the front nearside 02 electric window regulator and wether a VW dealer will hold it in stock or order it? Ta

Not sure what you mean. The three funny plastic things half way down the carrier?

What plastic rivets are they? Yes, took the window out

So I understand, but I couldn't get it out. I've used this description and it looks like I have to take out the lock as well. I've stopped for the moment 'cause its chucking it down and I need a long torx. VWvortex Forums: DIY - Replacing the front door window regulator clips and/or door lock module

This is a link to a VW description. I haven't finished it yet but it looks to be pretty similar to the Fabia I'm doing it on (in the p!55ing rain which is why I've stopped). VWvortex Forums: DIY - Replacing the front door window regulator clips and/or door lock module

Help! My window has dropped and its raining! I've stripped it all apart from the door carrier which is stuck. I believe it is the regulator but how do I get it out? I've searched the forums but ther is no mention of this tricky little bit. Thanks in advance, James

Sorted this on one door the other day. Unfortunately they all leak! All I did was run some bathroom sealant round the carrier. Window has gone a bit mad now though, goes down when it should be going up!

Cheers. I was hoping for a slot in full system that wasn't too loud. How much did the custom back box set you back?

Hi. Just bought myself (and the wife, who seems to drive it all the time) an 02 Fabia 2.0 petrol estate with 17000 on the clock. I am well pleased with it but understand they are not exactly common and was hoping for a little advice. I'm interested in putting a stainless exhaust on and freeing up the air filter but can't find anything that relates. Everywhere just lists bits for the VRS! Any ideas would be most welcome. Cheers, toth Guess I should say Hi! to everyone too as this is the welcome section. HI!

Except the depreciation to your car if the new wing doesn't match perfectly or the paint is slightly off colour! Most repaired crash damage can be spotted if you know what to look for.

I've got a friend who is about to buy a vrs from Corfe Mullen. He said they are knocking them out at about
