My passenger window for R32 has stopped working.. sort of...

It can be wound down using the passenger and drivers side controls for the passenger window but can only be brought up with the drivers side controls.

when the passsenger side control is used to wind the window up it moves slightly then looks as though it jams but if the drivers one is used it then goes straight up as normal.

Any sugestions????

Thanks in advance

I had exactly the same problem. One of your contacts is not contacting anymore, makes sense.....

You need to pop out the switch (you can choose to take the whole door trim off if you like, it's less fiddly) and open up the switch area. Be careful to pry it open slowly so you don't lose any parts, which I almost did, and all I did was just bend the metal contact so that it was sure to make contact.

*** Don't bend it too much, because that may mean your motor will be 'on' all the time, and burn out.

Test it out while you still have it out, if it works pop it back in and you're done.

Yep, i'm with Fixxxer. I had the exact same problem with my R32 GTS-T when I got it. Just pry the switch out of the door trim and open it up. As Fixxxer said, be careful. Keep the switch horizontal to the ground to keep the loose metal contacts from falling out. You can then clean each metal piece and its contact with fine sandpaper, a screwdriver, whatever, and put it back together again.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
