Recommended Posts

Recently bought a corrado g60.

No motor connected to sunroof mech.

Car has a glass sunroof, checked the part no, skoda octavia.

Bought a motor and switch of ebay, same as mk4 golf. Can't get motor to work.

6 pin plug on motor, only 3 on corrado loom.

Any ideas?

The whole sunroof mechanism is from a skoda.

The mk4 golf motor bolts onto it, but the loom is different. 

Corrado motor won't bolt up, neither will mk3 golf motor.

Was wondering if there's a way to wire the mk4 motor up,?

Or another motor, that doesn't have the mk4 1 touch comfort system?

Could you get the sunroof loom for the MK4 Golf and try to integrate it into the existing Corrado wiring?

I found this link on someone trying to do something similar https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/who-can-help-me-wire-a-three-wire-sunroof-motor-to-a-six-wire-connector.842295/#post-7786497

Guide (copied):

How to use a 3-wire sunroof motor where a 6-wire is original:
You will need some wire, female spade connectors, a ring terminal, a DPDT momentary-contact toggle switch, and some solder.
First, take a 4-inch piece of wire and put a spade connector on one end and the ring terminal on the other end. Connect the spade connector of this wire to the male spade connector on the brown wire of the motor and connect the ring terminal to to a chassis ground (one of the screws which hold the motor cover on will do).
OK, now on the DPDT switch you will notice six terminals. You want to connect the opposite diagonal terminals to each other. That is, one terminal at one end to one terminal at the other end, but not straight across, it has to be the one diagonally across. I did this by soldering two 'very' short pieces of wire across the terminals. Also attach a 4-inch wire to each of the two terminals at ONE end of the switch and to each of the two terminals in the center of the switch. On the wires now coming from the center of the switch, attach a spade connector the free ends of the wires. The other two wires attached to the switch need to have have their free ends stripped of insulation for about 3/16-inch. You should solder these bare ends and flatten them with a pliers.
Insulate the terminals on the back of the switch well and then connect the two spade connectors on this new switch to the two remaining wires on the motor. The other two wires on the switch will connect to the car's wiring harness at the 6-pin connector that went to your old motor. Insert one wire into the socket for the brown wire and insert the other wire into the socket for the red wire with the white stripe.
Finally, remove the original sunroof switch from the motor cover and fabricate a small mounting plate for the new switch. It should fit very nicely in the opening where the original switch was.
