[s-cars] S6 Avant Window issue

[Steve Mills]

The motor is where the critical differences are, but by 'regulator' I meant
the entire assembly with the wire, pulleys, etc.

It's a heck of a lot easier to swap out the entire regulator than just the
motor, at least if my experiences on other Audis carry over. I've never
torn down a C4 regulator assembly, but since it very strongly resembles the
B2 and B4 versions I've fought with (with success, but sometimes physically
painful and always annoying success) I personally wouldn't go there ;-)
