Hi.

 

I am still having issues with my 1.6 16 valve Roomster 3 (07/07 plate) automatic - non DSG.

 

I have took it to skoda and two independent garages and they all said its the wiring loom!

 

So I have replaced the wiring loom and brought a new switch I have even put new fuses in!

 

All fitted and guess what.... Still no electric windows!!!

 

Please help.

 

I love the Roomster. Love the look/style and it's ideal for my wife's wheelchair etc. But at this rate I'm gonna scrap the Roomster.

 

> I've done that hold for 5 seconds.

 

What else could it be?

 

Thanks.

Is the driver's side motor module one with 6Y1959801 part number?

Was fuse 11 one of the ones you checked/replaced; if not do so.

 

Dealers have difficulty to diagnose Roomster windows correctly as specific faults won't show up when they scan.

So they will always blame the door looms (which DO fail) and switches which get corroded. Drivers side motor failure especially around '08 and '08 models is common.

Our '07 Roomster had dealer visits 3 times for window problems, the previous owner was charged each time for the diagnosis scan, and fitting a drivers side door loom. The problem was never fixed until Pete repaired the Temic module on the motor.

 

The motor is really easy to remove, the door card can even be left in place, just remove the 2 interior door handle torx screws, the 2 small torx screws at the bottom edge of the door card, loosen the clips (carefully, use a plastic knife etc. as a lever and most clips will break anyway) and reach up from underneath to disconnect plug from the window switch to get more room to work, and 2 plugs from the motor.

put a short torx bit in a 1/4" ratchet and remove the 3 fixing screws from the motor, carefully pull it off the window drive-hub and remove from bottom of the door.

The whole operation takes 10 minutes. You need a mat to lie on and a good head torch.

 

Send the motor to Pete. The window should stay up while the motor is out.

And when you get the motor back, perhaps clean / lubricate the window guides with dry silicone spray, it helps the motor to run with less current.

Hi gilroom.

 

Thanks for your post.

 

Who is Pete? 😂

 

I am happy taking the door card off, as that's what I did to do the loom etc, plus since taking the door card there was only 2 clips and the bottom screws holding it... so it must of been took off before. 

 

Please DM with Pete's details please... 

 

Thanks.

 

 

That's me. 

Thanks for the mention @gilroom.

hey, just been browsing through this and sounds an awfull lot like my story. Pete aka Wino helped me massively with this issue. 

 

I have done exactly what you did and the only thing that resolved the issue was the control module on the driver's side replacement. 

 

Be careful to make sure you are getting the exact part as there are many many variations of this part. 

 

But yes, I feel the pain.

Hi Bertie90.

 

Yes I got the right wiring loom and window switch, gave Skoda Parts Direct my reg etc.

 

I am going to Pete as soon as I get paid.

 

Thanks again 

Put an allert on eBay for the module number. Pete helped me find the listing on eBay. I paid £40 for the module with the motor.

Safer bet to get me to fix his original or send him an exchange pre-fixed one these days @Bertie90 (since I figured out how); and generally cheaper.

They don't often come up that cheap, and most ebay sellers won't know how to test them thoroughly.

I was lucky I guess. If you have figured out how to do it then you're the prefered option.
