E/Window stops half way up.

The favourite one I find that garages do is promise to call you to tell you what needs to be done, you then wait all day and get no call so you phone up and they say that they were waiting for you to call them.

Folks,

I've finally replaced the regulator and now the window is up thank god !!!

New problem - Motor sounds like its chewing on the cabel when I try to open the window so I'm reluctant to opening it.

Used lubracant and tried two old motors, what  ???do I do ??

Is there a telephone number for GTI I can phone for advise or does anyone recommend another way to resolve this problem ??

Having thought I was sorted when VW quoted around ?200 to fix my window and another small problem as per my earlier post I finally got the car back today.

End result was a bill for ?400, they replaced the regulator but then reported that because the motor had been working against a partially and then a fully seized mech the motor had burnt out. It would power the window up and down but very slowly. The cost of a motor ?159+VAT. Could be your motors have suffered the same?

The window now works like a dream, but handing over ?400 hurt, a lot!

I've come up with a really cheap solution if your electric window stops half way up.

Only wind it half way down.
