Simon vr6 10 Posted September 10, 2018 Hi guys I am looking for a fully working sunroof motor to fit in my 96 VR6 at a reasonable price. Must be in working order as I've bought 2 which neither of them worked!!! Thanks Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 30 Posted September 10, 2018 Just be careful - while the motors do get tired as the brushes wear out, what can happen is that the mechanism of the sunroof can get so stiff and hard to operate that even a fully working motor will struggle to operate it - as a precaution, check that everything moves freely and is well lubricated and try operating the sunroof by hand with emergency allen key.

vr6monkey 1 Posted September 10, 2018 Do vw still sell the sunroof lubricant? I bought some in April, but brace yourself.... £32 (incl VAT). It’s a fairly big tube (90g), but... bloody expensive. Part number - G00045002 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6monkey 1 Posted September 10, 2018 Ditto. Great price and works a treat In fairness even the parts bloke in the Stealers was surprised at the price of the OEM lube. It's good stuff, but I wouldn’t say £32 good. I paid as I really wanted to ensure my fully functional sunroof stayed that way I bet the £13 liqui moli does just as good job Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted September 10, 2018 If you have a later model Corrado then a mk3 golf sunroof motor is a straight plug in swap and far better. Mine has one on. Definitely recommended after being ripped off for an old tatty corrado one that did not work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
