Fernando Noronha Leal Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 My car is an AUDI A3 8L, gasoline, 1.6 liter, from 2000. I have the problem of, after lowering the glass it does not get up. I have tried to get a new motor but, apparently, Audi does not have it in stock. (A friend of mine has already disassembled the door, tried the motor and says "it's dead"). Where can I buy, even used, another motor ? Can anyone give me advice, please ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hello Fernando, It seems strange that your friend says the motor is dead, when the motor works to open the window. Personally, I would get a second opinion on this before attempting to buy a replacement motor. If the motor has failed, have you tried looking on eBay? Kind regards, Gareth.

Fernando Noronha Leal Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Thanks, Gareth. In fact, some force is needed to do what the motor now does ... But it does not succeed to close completely... I'll try eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Thanks Fernando, I really sounds to me that you have issues with the various linkages rather than the motor. I wouldn’t go off in a rush to buy another motor until everything else has been eliminated. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Noronha Leal Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 You're right, Gareth. The customary reaction - to buy a new one - seldom is wise ! With two drops of WD40, the glass came to the top ! Some resistance is preventing the motor to do its job ... Thanks. Fernando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Well done Fernando, Now instead of finding a new motor, you can now find yourself a new friend! This one can seriously damage your wallet! Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
