Rear Spoiler

Recommended Posts

Hi, my rear spiler has just stopped working, goes up automatically but wont go down, it jiggles a little on switch if I move it up and down but thats it..

 

I have wound it up and down manually and it all moves very smoothly, I can wind it down manually then raise again on switch but it still will not go down again, any ideas anyone ?

Hi there if your still having probs with your spoiler you might want to check the micro switches under the cover behind the manual control knob which is a spline fit so just needs a good pull to remove it, then its just a case of removing the black cover by undoing the 3 bolts and the various clips round the outside that hold it in place. Make sure the 2 racks that drive the spoiler dont fall out as its upside down if done on the car. With the cover removed there should be 2 blue oblong shaped micro switches. To test them just press on the white nylon button if it clicks its ok if not then that could be the problem. They can be fixed but this is only a short term solution and quite fiddley. The cost for the unit from VW is about £270 but im sure if you go to a place like maplin they might be able to help or an electrical wholesaler. Hope this helps. Ade. P.S this is alot easier when the whole thing is removed from the car.Attachments
