Hi all,

Bit of a weird one, the rear electric window in my 08 Octy isnt working quite right. 

When the button is pressed, you can hear the regulator going up and down. Now, if I press down on the button and put a slight bit of pressure in a downward motion the window will go down to meet where the regulator has stopped, the window will then go up all the way on the button. However, if I dont send it all the way up - I can lower and raise the window with the button. When it is sent all the way up, the process has to start again. 

 

Could this be the regualtor? It seems to me that it may have fallen out of some sort of track or something - if that even exists?

Sounds like the plastic peg that connects the regulator to the window has broken. See Haynes Manual for photos and instructions. Not too difficult to replace.

 

I imagine that's before the riveted panel is it? saves me having to take that thing out! Cheers for the tip

 

I'll report back when I get chance to get out to it, the DSG oil change is the priority at the moment!!
