does the motor make a sound as you press the button?

follow the wire as much as you can as it should wrap round white circle cog things

 

[okjc250@hotmail.com]

Sorry, picture again

If it's the clip in the middle then you need the whole motor part as it is one complete unit from Renault.

 

[okjc250@hotmail.com]

its that white clip part.

ohh ok thanks for you help once that arrives is it hard to swap over?

is £50 a reasonable amount for it?

 

[Final Maxim]

It's your window regulator that comes as one unit with the motor. Same happened to me, cant remeber how much it cost but it wasnt cheap, I think the part alone is £120ish new. It's a window out job and fair pain so we took it in to get done. Renault wanted somthing like £400 for the job.

i think only hard thing about it is removing the rubber from around the window as its metal. if you bend it slightly you'll need a new one and they are an absoluter fucker to get out without bending.

Had to replace mine a few weeks back, Renault wanted £201 for just the part, got it all fitted for £175 that day which was fine for me as I didn't have the time to do it at the time.

Wasnt impressed when this happend to me. The window motors on renaults sound like electric tin openers, the ones in my old scirocco were powerful and closed with a solid thunk.

rather you than me

easy job.

i reckon 2 main things that you could damage are either the window rubber (which is metal inside) so if you bend it you need a new one as they are a b*****d to bend back to shape, near impossible.. or, scratching the paintwork sliding the window in place, or even smashing the window.

door pad off, window right down, try take off the seal, then window out, motor out, motor back in, slide window in and the rubber

Think the same has happened to mine,

Will have to check it tomorow!

Been offered both passenger and drivers door for cheap so could probably take it from the door!

Thats a Renault offical part though.

 

[Rob R26r]

All the more reason to buy the cheaper one then.The Renault one will probably break again.lol

 

[thechief]

Anyone got a part number for this? (drivers side) Think the same has happened on my 1.2 'Grande' work hack.

 

[N!CK R]

Go down the breakers and get one off of there!

Ill get you one if you want.... (for a small price)

this has happened to me twice and iv done it myself its a piece of piss window or seals dont have to be removed at all !! u slide window down so tht u can take clip out pop the motor clip out the hole in the window and then take out the five 10mm nuts and the motor show come out easy if i stayed near you m8 i wouldve done it. and again maybe its easy for me since im a mechanic for peugeot must just be french shite haha
