Newbie with potential problems!

[Rhyso]

Ok cool will get it looked at, dont suppose anyone has any idea of whats involved in one of these in terms of money to replace?

Approx £80 for the module, possibly more plus fitting on top - about an hour and a half

Not to bad for the parts then, just the labour thats going to bump it up then! (as always!!)

ay - i'd get a few quotes for the job as it involves removing the metal door panel behind the door card which is riveted on

i think Rich paid £200 for the job at VW

Ouch at £200 but if it sorts the problem then I would be a happy man!!  Probably a stupid question but would it just be the module on the drivers door that would be the issue?

its not actually riveted onto the door mate i thought this untill i started to take it apart as my window fell into the door... the rivets only hold the window mechanism to the panel... it took me about 10 mins to completely strip the door down... easy to do

yep fair point on getting it scanned, I will get it done in the week sometime, I would be happy to have a go at doing it myself once I find out if it is this part!
