Mk3 windows !!

Christo77 - mine did exactly the same, i used cardboard rolled up to keep the window wedged closed lol... worked for awhile, until i finally got it sorted.. you could just as easy go to a scrappy and all you'll need is the housing that fits to the cable of the mechanish and that clamps the window to it. (or do what i did, nylon block and make it work) :-) to be honese, i think mines alot stronger now as the plastic overmould (over the metal insert) is an Acetal plastic and is crap, bit of a crappy design if u ask me. anyway hope u get it sorted.

Remote central locking kits easier to install if central locking already in place, as just extra module to wire in.  Plenty of advice on here re wiring, and careful use of  a circuit tester helps!

Also plenty of complete kits to convert non-central locking cars to remote central locking; would be more involved as motors/actuators need fitting to the cars, etc.

But as said, time, patience and a circuit tester work well.  Failing that, local auto-electrician shouldnt charge a fortune.

Got that thanks, well i think anyway.. difficult to visualise what you mean exactly but i'm sure once i'm looking at it your plastic block fix will become obvious

Does anyone actually know of a mk3 gti that DOESN'T  have remote locking?
 Also, the specs of gti's seem to differ for no apparent reason, for example ....the 'r' reg I tried had no a/c or computer, but the 'p' reg had a/c......still no computer tho. But I've seen cars (gti's) advertised with both.............what gives, did VW randomly decide to fit either/both/niether......depending on what day it was?........seems a bit strange to me.

Yeah mine doesn't have remote locking and none of them did from the factory!  Most now will have via an aftermarket alarm system.

My P reg has a computer but no A/C - I think A/C was an option but a computer should be standard, especially on later GTi's?
