Hi all
I have a serious problem. I took an out of town trip(to visit a friend in a sketchy area), while on the way I hit the switch for the passenger window to go down, then I heard a crackiling noise and the window went down and won't come back up. Does anyone have any suggestions and pics as to how I should resolve this issue. Please respond ASAP


Thanks in advance

Sounds like the window regulator, we see this all the time.

What year is your car?

For example for a 2002-2004 a6 the part # would be 4B0 837 462C and I would charge about $160 + Shipping and that is for a genuine Audi part not an aftermarket one.

We would charge about 1.5 hours to put it in but if you have some mechanical apptitude you can do it your self.

Could be your window clips. The plastic breaking sound probably was the little plastic clips breaking. Here is the part # 4B0-837-463-B
You will need two of them and they run about 8 dollars each.

crackling noise?? be more precise was it an electrical crackling noise?

I forgot to post its a 2000 2.7t and it sounds more like glass or plastic breaking

i ordered that two plastick "sliders" and installed by my self. Thats took me arround30 min. to be done. Realy easy to do. I paid for parts 22$ (shipping included).

Order it from here: http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?searchstring=ES%234839&searchqt=b yvehicle&make=Audi&model=C5+A6&submodel=Quattro&en gine=2.7T

u need to buy two of them.
Good luck.

im going for the sliders/guides because the windows goes upish and down so the problem could be a build up of grime in the runners/guides

I removed the window portion of the door and to my disbelief the steeel cable that lifts/lowers the window is broken. What parts do I need , is there a right up and where can I get the part(s) from




Thanks in advance

also do i need to reset the window(as I have seen mentioned in some post and how do I do that)so that it operates properly

You'll be needing that window regulator Newport Audi mentioned above.

Order it from here: http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?searchstring=ES%234839&searchqt=b yvehicle&make=Audi&model=C5+A6&submodel=Quattro&en gine=2.7T (http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?searchstring=ES%234839&searchqt=b yvehicle&make=Audi&model=C5+A6&submodel=Quattro&en gine=2.7T)

Does anyone know where I can get the rivets for the window regulator.

I knew it was the regulator before I got to the bottom of the thread because I had to replace mine not 1 month ago. I experienced the exact same thing!

OOOO
