Hi guys, Just a quick one,

I have just got my first audi today a 99 1.8t.

A great car but just one thing is on the test drive it was raining so i didnt even think to try the windows, And of cause i get home and neither of the windows work ?
Everything else works fine and theres no warning light on any ideas ?

 

Yeah...check your fuse panel for blown fuse. Possible bad connection also . My assumption is that you have a common fuse or connector for your electric windows.
It also be possible that windows have been exposed to a harsh cleaning chemical that has ruined the rubber guides preventing window gliding movement.

 

fuses

 

Cheers guys i shall have look tomorrow just hope it is a fuse.

 

Ok so i had a look today and the reason they dont work is someone had unpluged them.

After pluging them in i found out that they dont go up and down in a straight line its like its come off the runners,

So when you try and move the window up it gets stuck then comes back down[:@]

wondered if this is common problem and whats the best way to fix ?

Cheers Paul

 

check all the bolts on the runners are tight, surly all the windows don't do the same thing??

 

Yeah, its easy to remove the interior door panels and check. There are only 4 screws I believe.

 

Ok then so after searching around the net i think iv'e found my problem,

This guide is exactly the same problem i have so just gotta get some new clips from audi

WOW!! I would have said take it to the dealer and Yell at them its there responsibility.

 

that's crazy... and the dealership didn't tell you about the problem? sounds shady.
