97 electric window

Post by JJHamster »

Could some kind person please advice. The drivers side electric window mechanism for our 97 3 door polo has just packed up (I can hear a relay click from the door but no movement). Looking on ebay etc i can see various parts on offer but am not sure how interchangable they are. Would the motor from a 4 door car fit? Any advice would be most welcome.
Thanks!

if u can hear a clicking noise when you attempt to use the windown then i'm pretty sure that the motor is fine! which is good coz these are £150 new from vw!
its possibly to do with the regulator, this is what went wrong in my g/fs mk4 polo. her window dropped into the door!
is ur window still up?

Hi Dan,
The window is stuck up - so maybe it's just a freeing up exercise?? There was no nasty noise when it packed up, it just suddenly stopped working.
Thanks,
James

Sure have!, but I didn’t see much on 3/4 door part compatibility.

Are the mechanisms hard to get out? (or more to the point hard to put back in again).

Thanks!

They are easy enough to get out, I didn't remove the motor on mine but its only a few more screws/bolts I think. The bit that took me longest was removing the membrane under the doorcard in a way that it would stick back on again.
