Did some more resarch today and found out that VW an updated repair kit for these elec windows were they replace the plastic cable drive body with an alliminum one
that retails for only $145

fitted tonight and all working sweet again

Thats handy to know for when mine give up (and no doubt they will!). Glad to hear that she is all back to normal :thumb

Fairly common problem unfortunately..

There is a post on this somewhere. Check for a post from "beetlegirly" or something like that. She went back to VW and complained, and they fixed it all at their cost.
