7:20 mine (different model) had a leak in rear washer pipe dripping onto the wire leading down to that connector grrrr I thought why is this connected so so corroded when the rest of the internal area was so so clean lol
I paired the phone but don’t hear the music
Connection is for calls only on this model
Ok thank you!
Thanks for this quick, useful video
Thank you so so much for this excellent video! You’re a great teacher: you have a pleasant & un-rushed style, taking time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly without assuming we’d know “inside” type info. Really fab!
Where do you find the pin?
Should be in the owners manual
Class video, fixed both of my windows that were broken
Very useful video. As you mentioned, do not forget to lube the small O-rings on the oil filter cartridge neck and use the recommended synthetic oil. When I first replaced my filter on a 2.5tdi BPC engine, the old cartridge was compressed. So when I replaced the filter with all the O-rings lubed, I then removed it to check the neck was inserted correctly and had not compressed the cartridge. It's a bit fiddly as on my engine the top of the cartridge clips into the filter housing's plastic screw cap. But if the cap and cartridge screw down all the way by hand it is most likely properly fitted and then only requires a final torque. I've never had a crushed cartridge again.
4:09 what size torx bolt is this does anyone know and length?
Thanks my friend u enlighten me.
Wow! Thank You so much! I've been searching high and low for a video that clearly explains this process. I have a VW Polo 1.4 Tdi and need to do this service soon. You are a life saver! Subscribed and liked!
Anyway of turning the bong sound down? Mine is so loud
It was really helpful for me mate. Thanks for taking the time to do this video
Glad it helped 👍
Well done young man for helping your daddy 👍🎉

Thanks, very helpful. 👍🙂
Thanks very much. Really helpful and satisfying to do this myself with your help. And a lot cheaper than getting a garage to do it.
Glad to help
Great video thank you . Extremely detailed and straightforward. Even getting help from the wee man, Brilliant 👍
Great job just the video I’m looking, thank you for your help!
Glad it helped!
Thanks mate
Happy to help 👍
Good instructions. Thanks for posting this
Hello mate, my actuator rod is pulling on the latch, keeping it open, it does not seem to respond to key or boot button Should I replace the actuator?
Very helpful cheers
Nice video, I had this today removed the boot cover and this latch just to gain a bit more access to the grey plug I had water leaking from the wiper motors weep vent that's a different job. I think a bit of dielectric grease on the plug pins after a clean up would solve this without swapping unless it was seized? regardless great job. after a clean and grease I have no more "boot open" when its closed warning. even though I still need to tackle the water leak from the wiper unit.
I have the exact same issue. Every time I turn on the jets for the rear wiper I get the system telling me the boot is open, however the boot has been broken for months. I’m looking to fox it and am not sure if it wont open due to a faulty switch or because of the latch. Any updates?
Hi, My AUX port became loose in Audi A3 2011. How to open that? It is under the armrest.
Hi when you fitted the new regulator the part where the motor connects to how to you fit it back in when it back to front
Great advice thanks very much. Job done in 2 minutes!
My window has fallen through the door, pretty sure the regulator is fine, would I just follow the same process or what would I do?
The window falling through the door is most likely due to the cable snapping from the regulator. To be sure of this remove the door card and inspect this
Thanks!
Is it possible to use something other than rivets when putting the trim back on.
Hi just watched you video. I am currently looking at one of these. I take it your in the uk😊 The one im looking at is from amazon (e-diag) how are you getting on with it ?? Any software or tablet problems?? And has it updated to topology screen yet ? 👍👍. Thanks.
Very good excellent thanks 23:35

Where did you get your new switches from please ?
The new switch was purchased directly from Volkswagen TPS
anyone know if an a3 saloon and a4 have the same rear window regulators?
hi, can you please tell me if launch x431 pro3s+ works with x prog3 to be able to read write (backup/restore) the ecu/tcu? because as a function immo prog x431 pro3s+ is hidden inside the system but I wanted to be sure that they are compatible, because I have seen some videos that make the connection via USB to do the backup restore Tcu.
I have exactly the same issue. Thanks for the video.
Can you fix it for me o/s/r drive shaft seal leak for a 2006 e46 318ci auto m sport? I am in London
What year/mark is this Audi? I assume there will be differences in the procedures for the different models?
I'm still having issues with the swap. I noticed a crunch or clank sound when winding my window up or down, like something is tight and/or possibly clipping something else. I removed the speaker to get better access. However, the hole I can't get a screw into seems to have no thread whatsoever; the screw literally goes in and out without any resistance. It's a third party part from GSF, I'm wondering if it's faulty. I heard somewhere that there's an adjuster bolt by the speaker for the window/door frame, but I'm not sure if I should adjust that as I don't want the window popping out or cracking. Anybody have any advice?
Mines doing this! We moved exhaust to do the rear bushes and the rusty bracket gave up. Is it a new dpf that's needed or is it the catalytic converter. Mines 2l 2010 tdci. Could I reattach it just with wire (coat hanger ) for few hundred miles while I would a new whatever ( dpf or cat)😊
In a different video on this scanner, it had a feature for repair info for the selected vehicle. When selected, the scanner downloaded the info from the internet. I'm wondering if it's possible to download repair info for many different vehicles without being connected to them and if the scanner retains that info so it doesn't need to be downloaded again? Thank you.
I changed mine yesterday, it was hard work lol. The third party regulator I got from GSF, when putting the door back in one of the screws wouldn't screw into the regulator bottom right, the 2 Torx 25 screws. The one nearer the hinge, the screw hole was too big. The screw could just be pushed in and out of it, so it couldn't be tightened. I had to leave that one out. Winding the window down seemed okay, but raising it up it seems stressed? abit slower/lounder like the motor is working hard. Id there anything I can do to adjust this?
Hello, my phone connects and i can take calls but i can’t play music through it. what do i press to get the music to play through the speakers? i knows it’s connected because i took a call through the car.
Unfortunately most models only have connection for bands free calls made in the car and therefore can’t play music
@@main-tecrepair2000 hmm. is there a way to play music from my phone through the car?
Car connects to phone via Bluetooth. Phone rings through speaker system BUT I don’t know how to answer incoming call. There is a button on the steering wheel but pressing it does not answer my phone. Any advice
Does it connect ok if you manually answer using the phone screen?
Yes, it does.
Can we actually remove the rear mirror after taking the B-pillar out? As far as I can see there are 2 rivits, on at the top and one at the bottom.
