DIY electric window and wing mirror

Followers

13 January, 201016 yr

Hi guys -

I have a couple of non-urgent niggles with my 03 Fabia that I'm thinking of doing myself:

My off-side wing mirror casing has been knocked off and my passenger electric window is 'crunching'.

I have had the other electric window fixed by Skoda last year (who charged me Â£190 - Robbery!). Turned out the steel cable was wrapped around the pully and got chewed up. I dont fancy paying to get this other one fixed! Surely getting the right parts and a doing it myself would be cheaper! - Has anyone tried this before and would I find it too hard? - Haven't really worked on a car before :S

The same with the mirror - If I got an off-side mirror from ebay, how hard would it be to fit myself? Has anyone got any advice or tips?

Thanks in advance!

First time starting a project thread, bear with me... Heard about this Roomster not too far from me that might be heading for a scrapyard, and decided to try to acquire it. That went well and it came to my place this last weekend. Early 2012, 1.2 TSI, 5sp manual, 158k miles on the clock. This is it, just after being washed. Paintwork is far from pristine, but that's not something I care much about. I'd looked up the spec via the reg plate before seeing pics of the car, so there were one or t

Infotainment System Restarting endlessly

ScottS · 13 August, 20223 yr

Mid-way through a holiday in France and the Infotainment gremlins are back… SOS call fail, parking distance fail and manoeuvre assist fail, coupled with infotainment system booting, lasting about 30s, freezing and rebooting. SOS light on red and multiple warnings on dash. Car is coming up to 2 years old and has had repeated software issues. Could really use some help from someone who has had this issue and can stop the endless reboots !!!
