Has anyone perfrmed this mod and wished they hadn't?

I really want to do it but fear the bridge may overload the motor resulting in needing to forkout s**t loads on parts and labour.

Can anyone halp???

Cheers

eh? If you've already got electric windows then you don't need any more buttons, just a small piece of metal (called a bridge I think) to replace a relay. If you haven't checked the guide in the DIY section try that, it should answer any questions.

I'm sure I saw one on ebay a long time ago, but I can't see anything now.
Try asking in VAG parts (bottom of the forum list), Martyn may be able to give you a list of parts & prices required, or somebody else on the forum if they have done it.

i may be thick by asking, but what is "always on leccy windows"?

SteveB · Post by **SteveB** » Wed Jun 15, 2005 9:57 am

Basically you set it up so that you don't need the key in the ignition to use the windows. They always work.
