[s-cars] More on Window Problem

[Douglas Fifield]

In the way of an update, I took it to the closest Audi dealer,
Maplewood Audi in the Twin Cities.  They were very nice and helpful -
charged me the minimun shop time segment, determined that it was the
motor/regulator combo that was bad, pulled the motor, raised the
window, stuck motor back in.

I asked for a P/N for the part and was given 4A0 959 801.  The FA
lists this as the "window lift motor".  Does anyone know if that P/N
includes the regulator as well?

Chris Semple - do you know?

Any hoo, I am good to hit the road now.  Window is up (inoperable, but
up).  Just need to figure what part to order as a replacement.
