Default Driver window problem

I have a problem with my driver side window. If I press it one time to go up it goes up and stops before the middle and goes down. The only way bring the window up is by pulling it.

What year A6?
Still in warranty?
Will it go up all the way up if the button is held in the up position?

It's a 98', and no it's not under warranty. Let's say I press the button for the window to go up it goes up and than starts to slow and goes back down again

Sounds like a servo motor problem.

Well, maybe. But I'd consider the entire electronic system of the window; from the switch to the motor. It may bne just the motor, it may be just the switch, or it may be both (bad communication). It may be one of those trial by error things... unfortunately.

Places to buy...? Dunno... I'll look around.

Rings for life,

Your problem is most likely caused by a window frame that's worn out. Your window will bu pushed up and because there's room between the glass and the frame, the glass will be pushed up under an angle wich causes resistence. The resistence then exceeds a certain limit which will activate the automatic safety stop, to stop the window going up and then going down. replacing the frame will most likely solve your problem.

Good luck

Interesting idea AudiFreak. Does the safety stop, you refer to, cause the motor to reverse direction?

Yes, it wil cause the motor to reverse direction...
The safety stop is designed to prevent people getting stuck...
