I used an old slightly modified Kirby grip to sort some out before. This will give an idea of what's involved. https://youtu.be/5rlXZUvhEsQ

A brush cutter thus angled in the combi you can close the boot lid. In the hatchback it protrudes over the bumper.

There were 3 models. A bit like the 3 bears. Hatch - baby bear Saloon - mammy bear Combi - daddy bear

Couple of pointers:: You can get 8 full bags of coal and 4 bales of BNM briquettes in a combi boot with the seats down. A washing machine fits with the back seat in place. It's 5 to 6 inches longer than a hatchback boot. A child's push chair and a week's food shopping for a family of 4 fit nicely in the boot of the combi - not so the hatchback. The saloon is the same length as the estate but you obviously miss out on the extra hight at the hatch. In my experience, the combi is much more practical than the hatch and better looking shape "to boot" ..... If you don't mind the pun.

No, mine did that from new - no aircon

I had saved this topic because both my windows had given up the ghost around January. I've barely used the car since but nearly died yesterday with the heat so today was the day to go into attack mode.. Pleased to report that simply swapping the driver's complete motor from my 2006 donor car has cured the problem. During one of several tea breaks, I came across this video on a 2007 polo where the chap swaps out 2 items from the motors circuit board and fixes his windows. He names the part numbers of items, which is double Dutch to me (no circuit boards when I started off with my 100E pop) but hopefully will be of help to some on the forum after a trip to Maplins or the like. Apologies if my advancing age means I'm barking up the wrong tree.

This is it from the book

I was quoted over €450 by the dealers when I got mine. I spent my spare time for the next week googling and cross checking part #'s and got a brand new identical part shipping and all for €220 - just not stamped with VW/AUDI. Was either some place in France or Germany but cant remember exactly was at least 10 years ago. After checking the code mine threw up, it pointed to knackered plastic cogs that I was able to confirm by splitting the lid off. I'll have a look in the shed at the weekend I know I threw the old one in the new part's box and periodically came across it and fired it to one side up until at least 18 months ago ....... unfortunately, there has been a "mini" clearout in the last 6 months though ....

Assuming when you split it, it's the cogs that are shot, this link might be of interest. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-TDI-1-4-1-9-2-0-2-7-3-0-4-2-Throttle-Body-Flap-Motor-Repair-Overhaul-Gear-/323541307182 I haven't used this seller, I just did a quick search. When mine packed up 200,000 km ago you couldn't get hold of the cogs and I had to buy the part complete.

I had this on mine 1.4 td at around 90,000 km. There was a (2?) plastic cog(s) inside when you split the body that had a couple of worn teeth. I spent a week on the web cross referencing part numbers to source a replacement part from the original suppliers (valeo?) for half the dealer price just doesn't have vw/Audi stamped into it. Strangely, the replacement part is still going strong some 240,000km later, which leads me to believe their must have been a few dodgy ones that made it to the line.

1.4 TDI doesn't have a dmf.
