Electric window motor

[stumpyrs4]

My drivers window got stuck in the open position today - not ideal!

Popped into the local dealership who temporarily fixed it, so I can at least leave locked up nice and secure. However, they stated it needed a new motor.

And all for just £300 fitted, thank you very much sir...



Anyone come across this before?
Where's best to source one?

bollocks!!


it should be the same as the cheapestmodel with eleccy windows...how muchof that is " rs" tax?

It's no more expensive for an RS than a 1.8 20v SE
The motor is around £180 and a generous 1hr labour = £300
I've repaired motors on A3 and TT recently, they are really easy to remove and refit and doubt A4 is harder
All I have done is strip motor down to the brushes, clean up with Scotchbrite pad, reassemble and they have been fine since (weeks later).

£300 would be about right then.
Labour's gotta be approaching £100 + dreaded...
