As most of us know the window motors are shit on the EP and stop working. This is my guide to removal & refitting the motor.
Time:
1 Hour
Tools:
Flat blade screwdriver
Star keys - size T26
Cross head screwdriver
10mm socket or 10mm spanner
grease
Fu*king kneeling pad
mirrow
long nose pliers
(Blade maybe)
Side: drives
Motor thats going on
Heres how your door should normaly look
Start with undoing the screws on the switch and handle pannle
undo the door catch screw
the pannle should come away from the card being held on with just the wires
use the flat blade to push up the swtch pannle
disconnect the plug from the switch block
the handle should now come away from the card
Push to the left you should hear it click (drivers side)
pull all 4 corners of the card (you should hear them pop)
Push through the door catch at a angle
Card removed
should look like this
peel down the shit sheild starting at either top corner
rip a bigger gap for the door catch to pass through (saves breaking the little green clip that joins it to the rods)
Slot it back in so your dont hit it with spanner or ratchet
the 4 10mm bolts you can see here that katy cornerd and romove them ( i dint because i have done this before but use a block of wood to wedge the window up when you start to undo the 4 bolts
behind there is the motor screws (stars) (shit pics)
Thats where they are there hard to fine but get a mirrow behind
to see where they are if you cant feel them out
using your long nose pliers grip the little clip that holds in the plugs and push it through
undo the plug
remove the nackerd motor from the gap closes the car
REFIT
Dab some grease on your new motor gear
Put in the same way as you took out
Hold inplace so you can see the holes line up
Put 1 bolt in the bracket to hold your motor tight while you put the others in
Pop the rest in
using your T25 star key screw the motor into the bracket (its a right arse to get to but just take your time and have a cupa and a fag
TEST IT OUT
once you have done that its just putting back together now
push the plug in so they lock tight, and pop th e clip through the door
push the door catch to the left of the car to remove it from the locks (drivers side)
pop your card back on pulling the wires through this hole
angle the door catch back in card so it passes through easy
BANG ON
push the door catch to the left to lock inplace (drivers side)
screw in
pull the wires through the door handle
line up with holes
plug clip back in
put switch block back in right hand side down first you should see the catches at a angle (drivers side)
push the front clip down making sure to line up
DONE!!!!
hope this helps! rep it always good ^__^
