I have a 2000 A6 4.2l. Three of the 4 electric window are malfunctioning. The drivers window now is stuck and want move at all. Before this it had a mind of its on, rarely responding to the switch commands. Two of the other windows are acting the same. very slow, some time they reverse couse as I attempt to roll them up. They get half way up and decide they will go down instead. i assume either Audi had a major problem with 2000 electric window mortors or i have a problem in my electrical system that is not directly related to the individual motors. Any ideas?

 

Welcome to the forums!

I have not had the same trouble, but it sounds like the master set of window switches are acting up. Loose plug/corrosion/something like that, In addition, the window guides have a nasty habit of breaking/wearing out, too, so it could be that as well.

Did all of the probems start at once, or did they show up one at a time?

 

It is strange that it is happening on all the windows but it Sounds like the windows are sticking in the slides and the auto reverse thinks something is in the way. I don't think it is an electrical problem.

Older Audi's had all kinds of problems with window switches. Ithink I rebuilt all the window switches inmy 200QT once a year after it got old.

In your case you might try spraying a bit of WD40 onto the window tracks to see if that helps, work the windows up and down a few times to spread the lubricant - you can help them by grabbing them with your hands and push or pull depending upon which way your going - but be ready to swear at me cause it will be messy. If that dosen't work you are probably going to have fun taking your doors apart.
