Help! Power Window KAPOO!!! Broke!!

[Zirco]

Guys, my power window broke last night sigh! Think the motor still working. But think something else broken so can move down (open) but cannot move up (close). Can tell me what's the damage ($$$$)? Thanks!

[Zirco]

Ibiza. The driver side one. sigh!

[Yongwd]

find ur stockist and DIY if u can. Pretty simple for jap cars, not sure for VW/Seat

[Zirco]

Oic Thanks!

All windows button tested? Fuse? if everything ok, then must open to take alook.

[Zirco]

yeah! all tested and working. Will be going down to my mech to check first.

Sounds like a snapped belt in your window pulley.

something dislodged, either broke off due to corrosion or fatigue. Another possibilities is the linkages drop off its position.

Only way to confirm is to open up the door panel to look.

Zirco,

 

 

If you go to BM ......it'll cost you up to about SGD 500 thereabouts.......outside...dunno about United, but I'd

expect it'll cost you about SGD 280 at somewhere like

Servotronics. If you have 'kang tao' at scrapyards, it'll

cost you only about 100+ but no guarantee that it'll last

cos it's been used before, and for your info, the sets are

side / direction centric......meaning if you are thinking of

taking out motor and regulator from side passenger door..

....u cannot do so cos it is designed for the specific door unlike

Jap cars where there are generic sets.....

Just checked with BM think usual price is S$495. So expensive but but... they give discount. hee! hee! Anyway checked with kian hua and they quoted a reasonable price for a OEM set. Will be looking around somemore before i decide. Thanks to all guys here for advice.

$495 for a window regulator???

 

 

I can buy 6-7 toyota originals for replacement!!

[Zirco]

not the regulator. It's the whole unit including the motor. Anyway they give discount so cheaper than the quoted price.

Hi,

Just discovered I could not wind up my power windows all of a sudden. Any recommendations for a cheap and reliable workshop for repairs?

 

 

thanks million!

Sometimes, it might not be the motor that gives you problem.. It could be due to the switch too.,

[Eliew]

Thanks but think my motor's ok as I could hear it running. it could wind down but not up (same problem as the originator of this thread reported). More importantly, are there any recommendations on a gd workshop to send the car for fixing? I have called up CAS and understand they do, just not sure how much.

What is your defination of "KAPOO".. is it broken into pieces?

 

Sometimes, when water sip into the motor, it just would not work. You need to spray WD40 to get rid of the water.

 

Before you do that, use a multimeter and test the connectors into your power window motor and see is there electricity. Unlikely it KAPOO, cos it was raining heavily and water may be the cause.

 

my 2 cents.. if it works, you need not spend $$$ on a workshop.
