tweaked 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Right people my spoiler on my vr raises using the switch and lowers, it also raises automatically at 50/55 BUT then lowers at 60, then up at 70 then down at 80. Whats going on, i have searched but everyone else has a different problem to myself. HELP PLEASE. thanks :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 7 Posted June 21, 2010 Sounds like a faulty spoiler control module (it's a black box about the size of a cigarette packet). It's inside the dash, next to the manual spoiler switch. I'd be trying that first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 7 Posted June 21, 2010 Bear in mind that if you are going to change the module that the VR6 module is different to the 16V/8V/G60 ones. I believe that they will fit, but that the spoiler goes up at a lower speed. Not a bad thing in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better than it not coming up at all when I bought it tho :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thom 1 Posted June 22, 2010 Have you done anything with your stereo recentley? There is a speed signal wire (blue/white) that needs insulating. Mine wasn't at one stage and the spoiler had a mind of it's own. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh, cut off any exposed wire, fold it back on itself and wrap insulation tape around it. If the end of that wire touches anything you can have all sorts of strange issues. Having said that though, if you haven't had the stereo out or altered the loom, there's little chance that this would only now be a problem. Good luck :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tweaked 0 Posted June 26, 2010 Right, my spoiler started blowing the fuse so i stripped it down and cleaned it up and regreased the cables, but i find that the spoiler gets really stiff just before is its down all the way. Any thoughts now?? I have a feeling i'm going to need to buy a new spoiler mech Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any thoughts now?? I have a feeling i'm going to need to buy a new spoiler mech When you stripped it down, did you check for build up of grease around the cogs? Mine was blowing fuses due to the cogs trying to turn in a lump of grease that had somehow gathered in one spot. Once I removed the lump and regreased it was fine :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tweaked 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Saying that there was a fair bit. I'll strip again and check. Cheers mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
