Hey guys

The passenger side window is broken today, it cannot be up or down and when you close the door the auto-up is gone. I can actually hear a click sound came inside the door when I was pressing the button (That means the circuit still work?)... Anyone have this before? Problem with the motor? How much to fix it.... My car is 2003 coupe and now i am soooo pissed.. :banana::D:):ermm::ermm:

Is the car still under warranty? If so, take it back to your dealer and they should fix it for free as it is mechanical, not electrical.

Good luck.

Common problem. Mine is having it as well, on the driver's side. Yet to get to fixed.

If your window is stuck and you just want get it to shut temporarily, try this: hold your window switch UP, then bum the door from the inside. It should go up. If it still doesn't, just apply more force.

Thanks a lot mate, but the warranty is nothing, only if your engine blow up...

Have a read of Chris's fourth post.

If you've got any electrical/audio/suspension etc issues, check that thread before posting, it's quite helpful :D

With our Aussie dollar being this good, it's only natural to take advantage of sourcing parts from the US.

Have a look at this - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GENUINE-NIS...sQ5fAccessories

$AU173 + $AU27 for shipping. $AU200 looks like a good deal to me :D

Ok. I just asked because when I bought mine, I took extra options on warranty such as windows issue.

Good luck anyway.

Surprise!! The window is back today! I didn't touch anything and it just work again...I can just assume the program screwed up...

HOWEVER, at the same time, the door lock lost its function.. When I use the remote control to lock and quickly unlock, the passenger side door was still lock but the drive side just fine. Same thing happened if you unlock the door and quickly lock again, the passenger side door coundn't lock by itself.. BUT, if you wait, for half an hour or longer then you press unlock (or lock), it work again! What the Hell is this.. :P;):P

That's abit odd.

My suggestion is just have a check next time you service your car...because you don't want to be stuck at some random place and can't wind up the windows or lock the doors.

You're better off spending the extra $$$ and replacing the door-lock solenoids and the window motors/regulators. As Victor said, you don't want to be in a random place with windows down and doors which don't lock :devil: . I wouldn't ignore these issues if I were U.

True.. This is just so creepy the car is playing me..haha.

I am more worry about the window issue cause I can always lock the door manually. :(

Anyway, this is all about $$$.. My wallet goes flat :devil:

given you are experiencing these issues NOW I would strongly suggest instead of talking about it on a forum - FIX IT! when the windows die on these cars they do it WITHOUT WARNING! if that is down then you are really screwed.

all the chatter about resetting them and programs going wrong - totally off target.

these are known mechanical issues on these cars (up to 2006.11) and they should be fixed the first sign of trouble.

if you are having full door issues then I would do ALL 4 items. that way you have a known constant (yes it will kill your wallet.) and piece of mind that it is all new gear (forget sourcing second hand = hand grenade.) and it will last another 5-6 years.

in the past day I have been asked to supply 4 door actutators from 4 different people. I think that says something.

if you want very little hassle from a car and more fun you prbably should have bought a nissan instead of a renault :devil:

( I can say that - I own a R32.)

Thanks for that! Should get it fix..

This is a good car, love to drive it. but since i have bought the car, she actually gives me some headaches, such as, window, door, wasting tank leaking, fuel damper fail, break vibration...etc. I get some of them fixed but new problems keep coming up. What can I say? --- I still love it, as long as I still have $$$ in my wallet...

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 路 Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 路 Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 馃槂

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
