Audi A3 8P window regulator replacement

The window regulator cable snapped on the passenger side door (RHD).
I managed to source an aftermarket part for about the quarter of the price of a genuine Audi part.
Off camera I put more grease on the cables to give them a bit more protection.
No doubt there is a better way to do this job but I had a go and managed to get it done and the window operating as it should again.

Made the job easy. I have recently taken out both passenger side door locks. FOr the back one, you need to partially take out the window regulator to allown clearance for the lock to come out. FOr the front, n worries it slides right out!

Hi there What do you suggest greasing? Thanks

@4ndy65 7 ай бұрын

Lithium grease will help prevent the cable rusting. Once rust sets in the cables can snap@@willpower1905

Did you cut the zip tie at 22:05? I did mine much earlier and messed up the regulator. After fiddling about with it, i fit it on and heard a crunching noise and the metal wire came off. Now I have to purchase a new one.

Yes, I cut it at that point.

That looked a nightmare and you clearly know what you're doing, do I need to get that involved to just raise my window stop by about 4 mm? Thanks.

It wasn’t too bad. I done the drivers side previously, so I had an idea of what to do. No doubt there’s a better way to do it. Do you mean the window has a gap or the actual frame where it meet the body of the car? Cheers.

My window has fallen inside the door, the switch still works but obviously it doesn’t bring the glass up or down, it’s just always in the door. What should I do

Thanks for the video. Which brand is that window regulator?

@menditmatey3368 8 ай бұрын

Hi, it was an aftermarket part I got from eBay. Thanks.

Hi, trying to manually pull my window up as i think the motor has gone, if i remove the motor unit should the window go up with little resistance? Thanks

@menditmatey3368 10 ай бұрын

Hi, If you remove the motor from the regulator it should allow you to pull the window up. Sometimes the wires in the rubber conduit going into the door from the car body can break and stop the window from working, worth checking. Thanks.

bonjour, le problème était des craquement ou fenêtres bloqué ? merci

@menditmatey3368 2 жыл бұрын

Hi. No, the cable in the regulator was rusty which then caused it to eventually snap. Thanks.

Did you carry out any electrical tests before stripping down the door? Is it possible to determine if it's a motor problem before remving the door card. Thanks.

@menditmatey3368 3 ай бұрын

Hi, I didn’t do any electrical tests. I heard the cable snapping and making a grinding type noise when operating the switch. The front right window works intermittently on this car, I suspect it is the wiring loom that leads into the door that is at fault. I am hoping to do a video on this at some point in the near future. Thanks.

Many thanks for that. I can hear what seems to be the motor trying to work, so maybe it is the cable unravelling and jamming the gearing.
