nutter driver

i know its been said numerous times, but just in case anyone finds this topic in a search, i fitted the cheapest mk3 golf motor i could find on ebay, £9, didnt look that simmilar, but shared the same type of plug, it arrived, and other than being a bit of a prick to figure out where it needed to start and stop, works perfectly with zero modifications once id got it figured out. Cheers, Pete

cheers bud, going to try and see if a mk3 golf one will work, looks simiilar-ish and appears to have the same electircal arrangement..... might be a waste of time, but loads of people claim to be running mk3 golf ones, and it was £12 delivered, so i figure its worth a shot...... otherwise i think ill just close my eyes and order a new one, be nice to actually be able to drive the car rather than fix it all the time.....

good shout sir... took it out tonight, first couple of times, it went through the cycle perfectly, then all of a sudden started doing half turns then stopping...... gonna try and hunt down a good known motor i think and see if it fixes it... either way, i guess i can now get the headlining back in, looks unlikely to be a cassette problem now..... random, but we're only in poole, so if you see a dark burgandy vr6 pootling around locally, give us a wave! :)

sunroof issues guys and girls.... Ive read a huge number of threads over the past day or so, but not found anybody with quite the same problems we're having..... with the motor, it goes back, but only an inch or so at a time, comes forward the same way. Had it out today, cleaned everything up, re-lubed it to the point i can wind it back and forward with the allen key using one finger, so im thinking it might just be a case for a new motor? I know they usually have issues with cables/linkages, anyone know any more than i do before i start hunting for a new motor? Cheers, Pete

Yep, got a very polite, cant help unless you want 1000 units email this morning. It would probably be worth someone like heritage getting some though, but a little out of my league!! Im gonna see what turns up second hand at the moment, ive got about 5 people looking (anyone who advertised a car for breaking in the last 6 months has had emails from me now i thnk!!) if nothing turns up, then ill look at making somthing up for the missing ones....

Hi Stu, clips i need are these.... https://www.sinatec.com/catalogue/interieur/mounting-clips/vag-group/clip-audi-seat-skoda-vw-oe-535853832a-20pcs/_404_w_432_18544_GB_3 apologies for the link and not a photo, but im a little more than slightly inept when it comes to these things!!

Guess ill probably get the same email tomorrow then!! I found them and emailed them today!! Im currently harrassing everyone i can find that breaking a 'rado to see if i can get one or two off each!! Im 6 short at the moment...... Good news is, ive figured out how to remove them without any damage.... push the centre pin through the middle until it falls into the scuttle (white plastic, ive got a dark car, so easy to spot) then just lift the clip out you know that the little plastic cups they sit in are (or were until i ordered all of the uk stock!! Sorry) available from heritage??

does the shell have any of the white plastic scuttle clips left that havent been busted? Assuming you still have the shell??

Cheers Jim! ive checked at vw, both obsolete, although the grommets are available from vw heritage (part number 535853837 for anyone who finds this thread by google etc) for 80p each at time of writing, the white plastic clips are nowhere to be found...... sticking them on may well also be the route i have to go down. Frustratingly, ive actually got most of them, its just that i have some rust around the general area, so need to take them all off to repair and paint properly, after which there wont be any left that are as vw intended!!

still need a set for our 93 vr6 please, pm details of how to pay etc, and ill get it all sorted! Pete

Anybody got any n-o-s or usable second hand clips that hold the scuttle trims on? Vw part number 535 853 832A, but sadly no longer available from them, or seemingly, anyone else!! I know they were available until a few years ago from vaious threads on here, so im hoping somone might have a handfull lying around...... Pete

I would still like a kit for our vr please, I'm guessing it's late style? Please pm payment details and I'll send some money your way....

'L' plate VR6, im guessing late style? If you have a kit available for that, im interested. Cheers

Morning, just had a call from the missus saying she's just broken the drivers door handle, so im guessing im going to need a kit please! Can you let me know total inc postage etc, and ill get it sent over! Cheers.
