    Paul, if it was the release bearing or the slave would it do it constantly or intermitantley?. It only does it every now and again. It makes a squell noise like when you squeeze the air out the end of a baloon.

    I've got the same problem on my passenger side, won't work at all. The motor makes a slight noise when you press the switch but no movement. I've had the door card off and checked the clips which are fine, I'm presuming the motor has gone. Has anyone changed one before?

    Just got the call from my local Audi dealer, they said they will do the roof rails but will only cover 70% of the costs, meaning that I will have to pay £374 out of my own pocket. This would work out that the cost of repairs is £1,246, when I asked how much of the area would be painted he said...
