993turbo 0 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Picked up a VR6 a couple of months ago and it had a few issues. I have solved most of them, but I have yet to solve the following.... One of the El Windows are playing up. Its a 2 door car, and one of the windows goes only part by part, up or down. If I press, and hold the button the window moves 2 inches or so, then stops. I then have to press agin, and it moves another couple of inches. It opens and closes all the way, only issue is the interuptions. Its the same for both switches controlling this window. (passenger side window)I have searched and read about this topic, page up and page down, and checked the following.....:-checked the cables inside the rubber to the doors, all fine. -Lubricated the ''frame'' -Last I dismounted the window from the lifting mecanism and ran it without the window, same thing was happening. -the wires are tight and well lubricated............So, what do you recon... New regulator, or new motor, or both???? Or any other suggestions? Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites

Rikki 2 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 the wires on the regulator are probably snagged or twisted somewhere.....very common on mk3's Link to post Share on other sites

993turbo 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Well, it was not the Regualtor. So the motor is next.. Link to post Share on other sites
AJmk2 2 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Try contacts in the switch , on one of my old cars the window would go up and down and then stop every now and then, turned out the contacts inside the switch were bad. Not sure if its your problem though but could be worth a shot. Link to post Share on other sites
993turbo 0 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Would it then be the same when using both switches??? Its the passenger window, which runs from both the drivers side and the passengers side switch.... Link to post Share on other sites
AJmk2 2 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I guess its not the switch if its the same with both! Didnt think of that. The other option would be to try swapping the motors before you buy a new one , dont know how hard that is to do. Link to post Share on other sites
993turbo 0 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I might. Its a bit of a job. Link to post Share on other sites
Bigjobbo 0 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Basic settings? Sounds like the motor doesn't know where it's stop points are. Send the window all the way up, then hold the switch in the up position for a couple of seconds, there should be a confimation click, this may also have to be done at the reg's base stop too. Not sure if this will work, but it's worth a try. Link to post Share on other sites
swaper 0 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have exactly the same problem on the drivers side window. But not only that ! Sometimes refuses to go up or down ! It waorks again ONLY if i switch off the engine (turn off the key) and switch again ! That happens randomly and till now i haven't find the reason ..... Link to post Share on other sites
