I'm gonna order myself a new switch from the dealers this weekend, if it doesn't work I figure I'll flog it.

Pleeeeease work!!!!

EDIT: Flog the switch not the car!

[red6n2]

any luck with the switch or you want to sell it tooo meeeeeeeeeeeee... i know i need a new swith, but also the drivers side will force itself down upon coming up then will litterally take 10 mins to come up... sunroof has started juddering to !... i hate my car at the min seriously cant stand it, everything squeeks, tracking's off, its needs cleaning lol and i cant afford to fix any of it !

yes my wondows still dont work lol

anyone live near northampton that fancy's fixing it i will PAY you ! lol.

northampton is like very central england... east anglia/east midlands orrrrr i can wait till edition when i assume you will all be coming here anyway

To say I'm happy is an understatement!

Went to the dealers this morning and picked up a replacement switch (they had them in stock!).

I'm pleased to report that my drivers side window is now functioning perfectly!

Passenger side problem remains but I wasn't expecting the issue to be switch-related, that would be too easy wouldn't it!

Gonna whip the door card off the passenger side and have a good look around, with any luck it's nothing a bit of WD-40 can't sort.

[red6n2]

did you pay 30 something pound aswell ?, i may just get a new switch see if taht solves mine i can feel when i press it that it dosent even click the driver side anymore. i had the doorcard off on friday and there were no brocken or frayed wires so its eirther the regvulator of the swicth or fingers both croosed its now both or not both wich evcer makes sence !

... apologies for spelkling mistakes or incorrect grammer... im currently under the influence of alcomohol hence the 3am post

P.S. how sad is it that i got drunk and came ob here... like seriously get a life !

[alexperkins]

did you check the wiring in the door plug (the big chunky black sleeved wire bunch that runs from the door to the car) as this is where they often break.

[red6n2]

lol erm no i didnt check that one ill have a look at it in a sec,

i shouldnt be allowed near the internet when im drunk... i apologise ha ha

[BobbyG]

I just bought a single switch for £12+VAT and fitted it to my existing switch panel.

Like I said I've still got the problem with my passenger side which won't open even if I try using the new switch. No frayed wires betwen the door and chassis either. I'll have a good look behind the doorcard when the joy of fixing my driver's side door wears off!

Aaargh I wish I'd got on earlier, but for some reason I've been locked off the forum and the password resets were requested on Saturday and only came through today!!

Could have saved you guys some cash.

I bought a pair of brand new switches from a seller on ebay who can get hold of brand new VW bits..

I paid £16 delivered for both!!

The chap is called Dale, and his userid is farnobs.

Hope that helps someone.

I now have two working windows

[red6n2]

[red6n2]

[BobbyG]

Part number for the switch is 6X0 959 855 B01C

The guy that gets them cheap on eBay doesn't have any switches listed at the moment (click on "Community" and enter his userid if you want to contact him directly though).
