Hi there Skoda people,

 

I have a problem with my left hand side passenger window.  It makes a noise when I push the button and nothing happens.

 

A friend said that the wire cable must have broken, if this is the case, can I repair the cable or do I have to buy a whole new part or can I buy a new part without the motor and use the one from my existing window.

 

Any ideas folks.

 

Peadair.

Sorry I have no idea, best to post in the Octavia I or Octavia II part of forum for a more captive audience.

Sounds like your cable is gone, if it makes a sort of crunchy noise.. the motor will be spinning away.. which is just chewing up the wire.
This happened to my 6L Ibiza a few months ago, stripped the door panel down to the regulator basically, and a local guy who repairs bicycles fixed and rewired it for like £25! I think the gear shift cables on bikes are basically the same as used in the window regulator !
