Driverside window not working

[Gails Woofel]

I think my motor is gone i barley got it go up after 30 mins of messing with it.

Whats the cost to repair this usually?

If it's the motor, I'd say it's easier to just replace the motor, with one from the junkyard. Is easy to tell if it's just the motor and not the track, unlike my issue I'm having right now.

its maybe a crazy crackling noise on the way up, goes down pretty good.

From the research I've done today, it sounds like it would be the window regulator that is going out.

Thank you!

It's pretty easy to do, and there's a good diy on here. These regulators are a common fail point so you will probably need to do the passenger and backs at some point. Shop costs will add up quickly with these cars.

I know, I have had my a4 for 11 yrs now... just almost 100k so i think the real fun is about to start. My glove box is now falling off....

Mine too. I removed it to repair it almost 2 years ago and hope to get to it soon. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that comes up at the 100-150k range.

you can get a generic replacement regulator on amazon for about $30 and install it in your driveway in an hour. It is a very easy job. You'll need a torx 45 which is bigger than found in most basic torx sets but other than that it's just basic tools. I have used these cheap regulators through ownership of two b6s and have found them to last about ~2 years before going bad which is long enough for me.

when separating the window frame from the door peel the weather stripping off the window frame (it snaps into a groove kind of) rather than around the frame of the door so you don't have to worry about breaking a bunch of bullshit plastic clips.

Do not remove the zip-tie that is holding the gear in the regulator (blue thing) until you have the assembly inside the door ready to be snapped into place. If that gear works its way out of the blue thing it's done for.

You could get one from autohaus in Paterson NJ, tons of videos on youtube on how to change it. Literally did mines this past Sunday

I am in south jersey just replaced my regulator a couple weeks ago, would be happy to help if you wanted to swing by. if it makes noises its not the motor its the regulator. I ordered mine OEM from Audi it was 100$.

Just went thru this a few times as my b6 has 242k on it.

1. Check faults codes to door motor module in Cental Conv -46.

2. Confirm both master and door window switches work with vag com Central Conv -46 group 11 or 12 iirc.

3. Remove door module motor and move glass up and down by hand confirm any noises or broken parts I.e. frayed cable.

4. Check door jam wires (drivers side often are cut)


In my case I had a bad regulator on pass side, a cut wire on drivers side and a bad motor module on drivers rear!

Amazon regulator $27
Ebay used Audi Module $22
Fixed door wires - 1 hour!
