03 Passat Passenger Electric Window

cian1500ww

The passenger window of my VW Passat ahs stopped working. The window is free to move up and down but it isn't working at all with the electric. It justs makes a nasty grinding sound when ever the up/down button is pressed. Would I be correct in saying I need one of these: http://www.micksgarage.ie/Drivers-Side-Window-regulator-Passat-2001-2005-168445 I already have the trim panel off but not the inner panel (metal one) as I still need the car. Would that be the correct part ??

as far as i know, the regulator is a very comon part to go in the passats. If the motor is fine, you should be right with a new regulator.
Edit: the one in the link is a drivers side one, not a passanger side....

yeah, the cable has snapped in the regulator. They're not too difficult to replace.
Costs about €110 from the main dealer.

Bought one for €87. Should do the job hopefully.

God damn regulator problem. Had 2 with a passat and the same with a cordoba years ago. Crappy VW parts.

where did you get it?
I've done my passenger side but the driver side is on the way out too.

I'll let you know what it's like when I get it, they do the drivers side as well.

Found a great guide for doing the job here: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1015107 Couldn't really ask for better

Regulator arrived from micksgarage.ie not a bad service considering I ordered it yesterday at around 3pm. Hopefully I'll get around to fitting it this evening.

Got the job done this evening, the regulator from micksgarage.ie is a bolt on one so you have to remove the original by drilling the rivets out with an 8mm bit.
