Audi A3 8P window regulator replacement

The window regulator cable snapped on the passenger side door (RHD).
I managed to source an aftermarket part for about the quarter of the price of a genuine Audi part.
Off camera I put more grease on the cables to give them a bit more protection.
No doubt there is a better way to do this job but I had a go and managed to get it done and the window operating as it should again.

Made the job easy. I have recently taken out both passenger side door locks. FOr the back one, you need to partially take out the window regulator to allown clearance for the lock to come out. FOr the front, n worries it slides right out!

Great video, nice and detailed. I plan to do this on my Audi and you’ve made it easier for me.

BIG thanks Made the job a lot easier and quicker I even found a new genuine mech for £60 EDIT Dont forget to grease everything I used lithium grease

@willpower1905 9 месяцев назад

Hi there What do you suggest greasing? Thanks

@4ndy65 9 месяцев назад

Lithium grease will help prevent the cable rusting. Once rust sets in the cables can snap@@willpower1905

Did you cut the zip tie at 22:05? I did mine much earlier and messed up the regulator. After fiddling about with it, i fit it on and heard a crunching noise and the metal wire came off. Now I have to purchase a new one.

@menditmatey3368 Год назад

Yes, I cut it at that point.

Well spotted!

@madmickey78 Год назад

That looked a nightmare and you clearly know what you're doing, do I need to get that involved to just raise my window stop by about 4 mm? Thanks.

@menditmatey3368 Год назад

It wasn’t too bad. I done the drivers side previously, so I had an idea of what to do. No doubt there’s a better way to do it. Do you mean the window has a gap or the actual frame where it meet the body of the car? Cheers.

@geoffaries 5 месяцев назад

Did you carry out any electrical tests before stripping down the door? Is it possible to determine if it's a motor problem before remving the door card. Thanks.

@menditmatey3368 5 месяцев назад

Hi, I didn’t do any electrical tests. I heard the cable snapping and making a grinding type noise when operating the switch. The front right window works intermittently on this car, I suspect it is the wiring loom that leads into the door that is at fault. I am hoping to do a video on this at some point in the near future. Thanks.

@geoffaries 5 месяцев назад

Many thanks for that. I can hear what seems to be the motor trying to work, so maybe it is the cable unravelling and jamming the gearing.

@bruddab4474 9 месяцев назад

My window has fallen inside the door, the switch still works but obviously it doesn’t bring the glass up or down, it’s just always in the door. What should I do

@kgbiggz 27 дней назад

The same thing just happened to me. What ended up being the issue, and how did you fix it? Thank you

@lorcannelson4220 Год назад

Hi, trying to manually pull my window up as i think the motor has gone, if i remove the motor unit should the window go up with little resistance? Thanks

@menditmatey3368 Год назад

Hi, If you remove the motor from the regulator it should allow you to pull the window up. Sometimes the wires in the rubber conduit going into the door from the car body can break and stop the window from working, worth checking. Thanks.
