spoiler/sunroof issue

[VR6_ROB 0]

this is proberly a question that has been asked a thousand times

 

my rear spoiler on my g60 goes up on the switch but wont come back down

I have to put it down manually from inside the boot does anybody know the cause

 

also the sunroof only tilts but it attempts to slide maybe moves a few mm then it sticks

is this a chew on to fix my mk2 golf was a nightmare to do

I refitted the limit switches i bought from maplin bingo everything started working

but it was going up in stages not sure if this is normal

 

anyway i put all the mechanism back into the boot tried it

it went up but would not come down had a look the spoiler was not striaght

so i wound it down and refitted the spoiler now it does nothing

 

could i of blown a fuse?? if so which one is it

[volksworld13 0]

yes you may of blown a fuse, remove the driver side lower shelf and check the fuses, the spoiler fuse should be shown on the back of the cover shelf. check here 1st.

it is not shown on the fuse box cover

i dont fancy taking the all the fuses out 1 by 1

 

anyone?

have you fixed your sunroof ??

[VR6_ROB 0]

not had a go at the sunroof yet it tilts but wont slide back something is jamming it

[millerman 0]

im sure you can get a repair kit and normally its the cables that go if i were you i would be on the look out for a moon roof from a passat

they are a doddle to fit and the mech's are more reliable and less complex than the corrado ones

i might look out for one what model passat are they on?

 

I have just checked the fuel pump fuse as somebody said the spoiler runs on it

it is not blown not sure whats happened to it i will need ot strip it down over the weekend

cables might be stuck its quite stiff to move manually now

had the spoiler in bits today and the mechanism one cable was not set level with the other one

and a fuse had popped its the warning light fuse,

 

so i changed the fuse while it was in bits and it worked

greased the cables up put it back together does not work now

 

the motor is solid cant pull the switch out to move it manually so i stripped it again

plugged the motor in and tried it it only moves one way now

 

I am sick of stripping it down is a wiper motor the same?? I have a spare off my mk2 golf

kicking around at home
