RE: Power Window Regulator Questions

[Steve Brehm <sbrehm@sover.net>]

I recently got the updated, wormdrive part spoken about here, and =
installation seems pretty straightforward with one exception. The =
electrical connector to the motor is different from the oem part. The =
oem one has the wires coming directly from the motor to a connector =
about 6 inches away that connects it to the feed wires( green, black). =
The replacement has only a male plug on the motor itself. I guess the =
solution is to cut the wies from the old motor and put female slot =
connectors on them to plug into the new motor-mounted plug. Which is =
green and which is black though? Has anybody BTDT on this one? By the =
way mine is a 87 5KCST.

Thanks.

If I am not mistaken?......what Rod is talking about IS NOT an Audi =
part, it
is an aftermarket setup, it does not work very good, it is not a bolt on =
and
you will have to play with it to get to work correctly................
My suggestion is to stay away from it, even a rebuilt cable mechanism is
better (check Mountain Audi in Colorado), believe or not .....the Audi =
set
up is good, the worm gear set up is slow binds easily and is a pain to
install...........I know I have 2 of them.......

Rod at The Parts Connections tells me that there is an Audi part =
numbered
Bosch window regulator that uses the same worm gear drive as used in the
newer
model cars. According to Rod, Audi has made these available for retrofit =
in
older cars because they wanted to eliminate the problems which cables
binding,
fraying, etc. once and for all in the older cars. For the type 44 there =
are
supposedly no modifications required to install these. (Rod did indicate
that
on the 4k, CGT, and ur-Q some modifications may be required.) Could this =
be
true? Audi actualy wanting to improve things on the older cars?

Our q-list discount price on these is $125.00 each. If that truely ends
having
to replace these infernal things once and for all I think it may well be =
a
great way to go.

Does anyone have experience with these yet? How are they holding up in =
the
newer cars? (100 and A6 owners feel free to chime in on this) TIA
