Admin Paul Posted September 22, 2010 Admin Share Posted September 22, 2010 Sounds like the motor is tired, very common in mk4's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingergman Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 greasing it up might help a tad, but prob not worth it, if it stops working all together there mighty fun to change, i spoke fluent french doing mine lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dave29 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 how much are they new? do i need to sit down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 doubt you will get one new, but all mk4s will be the same and prob same as mk3 so ford might have one, imo wont be worth it tho, try for a decent used one if your thinking of changing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Grainger Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Before you spend a small fortune, try lubricating the runners with silicone spray, if nessaccery take the door card off to get right down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dave29 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 i,ll have the door cards off soon anyway coz they wernt fitted properly by the previous owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
