Drivers window regulator/ cable replacement
tommyboy40 replied to tommyboy40's topic in Audi A4 (B7) Forum
I have seen the replacement cables on EBAY, how much of an ordeal is it to with one? -
Hi all, my drivers window appears to have snapped a steel cable. motor is good but no movement. I've removed the door card and found that the cable is indeed broken. Is there a kit available or how much will I need to replace to fix this? Cheers in advance
-
I bought the Dension kit which added bluetooth. Simple fit with no cutting of cables
-
Hi Gareth, Brakes are good and the problem is an imbalance in the handbrake. I'll try the WD method to see if this helps
-
Thanks Steve. I've seen videos where you can adjust it under the rear ashtray at the centre console. Maybe I need to replace both cables as the imbalance is pretty high
-
Hi All, I did a search before posting but came up with nothing. I had my mot today and although the car passed, the parking brake performance was poor at 21%. There's an imbalance of 43%. Anyone got a guide to adjustment? Thanks in advance
-
It does turn rather a lot. Keep at it and it'll come free

The CF trim round the shift and the ashtray cover would polish up very well. I hope that you took it anyway. It’s not the hardest to hand polish. The wood in mine was pretty scratched
-
Delighted you found what you were looking for. You’re welcome to hijack this thread anytime. It’s so satisfying to do these upgrades. In my mind, the car seems to run better afterwards
-
T Cut won’t do it. A polish would help if you followed the direction of the lines on the trim. Try a cutting compound on a sponge
-
I was lucky to get the wood trim in reasonable condition on eBay. I have some parts arriving on Monday and I’ll enquire about the trim price
-
I clean all the shuts when I wash the car. It’s only difficult the first time you do it. Keeping it clean after that is easy. It does need another polish, the winter has left it covered in swirl marks. Shame that my trim isn’t any good to you. Have you priced it from the dealer?

Each time I open the boot, the state of the gas struts has been annoying me. Decent replacements are only €20 each Fitting the new ones is a 2 minute job
-
Here's my drivers side trim. It does have a couple of marks but it's yours if it's better than yours
-
Since I had the new pollen filter, I pulled out the old one and replaced it. It's a 10 minute job. Check out the difference There is an arrow to indicate the airflow direction And finally, the part number in case anyone needs one
