Electric window retrofit
I did manage to do this. You require the drivers door loom and the control module and switch. You just straight swap that over. You may need to code it but mine worked straight away. The rear is a little more difficult as I swapped over the mechanism and the control unit as I think they are extended for the winder handles. The loom needs a power supply so you need to tap into your fuse box so plug in your connector and run the cables to correct pin for the door connector. The earth points are in the b pillar buy the belt anchor point. You need the canbus high and low for the controller so tap into your canbus cables but make sure you get them the correct way round for the pins in the door connector. My donor car was a hatchback but my car was an estate so the door car tops had to be swapped so I didn't have a hole but if you get the correct door cards you can skip this step. It was an Easy weekend job make sure you have the wiring connectors makes it alot easier to swap unless you want to make up a small loom. But I had the donor car so just pulled everything out and cut and made fit what I needed

New rough idle and when the breaks are pressed shakes the car.
Hi guys have been doing some research with no luck on here. Long story short. The car is a 2007 octavia vrs tfsi stage one map precat delete ram air cone filter 50mm lowered on coilovers. Thursday last week car drove perfectly fine. Friday morning got in it to go to work bit of a bouncy idle with a bit of a misfire on cylinder 2. Check spark plug ok put the old one in no different swapped for the original on still the same. Sitting around 750. Going to try the throttle body reset tomorrow. noticed today when in traffic. When I had my foot on the brake the car would bouncy at idle like being on a trampoline. Take my foot off it would stop? So confused. Just want my car to idle properly 😪. Checked vac lines to brake booster no cracks apparent. Sorry for the long one guys Thanks for the help in advance.

Mk2 pfl intermittent cruise control goes off brings on esp light
Hi guys Hoping for some help. My cruise control has been a bit tempremental since changing the clutch pedal master cylinder. I could live with that not to bad. Today i was driving to work had the cruise control on at 50 it went off and the esp light has come on. I know i havd worn wheel bearings at the rear would this cause the cruise control to switch off of they deviate from the front speed sensors. This has made me think its a mechanical problem rather than electrical. Plus dont really want to pull all the wiring apart
