I haven't done much since the last post. I was going to remove the loom but then thought I haven't done a VCDS scan on the car since installing the new loom. Anyone know where I could get needle probes for a multimeter on the high street? Are there any companies or people who repair the...

Someone suggested to check the 12 volts are running through the red/green and brown cables with a multimeter. However, there isn't any space to check whilst the loom is plugged into the door connector as the space is too tight. Not sure if there's some sort of adapter to get into tight spots...

I picked up a cheap multimeter as it was the only one they had left in Halfords I popped into yesterday. I wanted to check the fuses by the steering wheel, by doing a continuity test, unfortunately it doesn't have the "beep" function on a complete fuse some of the better multimeters have. I was...

Also, one other thing on the Digital Instrument Display (DIS, I think is the name) behind the steering wheel, it shows that my drivers door is open and remains like that.

Cheers for the reply. I haven't used the VCDS to operate the windows. I didn't know that you could do that. I use the VCDS really for doing scans and deleting the fault codes. I haven't ventured into coding etc. Do I just need to go into a certain module, to wind the windows up/down with the...

Took the door card back off and made sure the connectors were seated properly. Now only the drivers window works from the door switch. Both the mirrors and passenger side are not responding to presses on the switch controls, they worked prior to swapping the loom. Also the passenger side...

Okay, here's a little update. I got the wire clip on, I put the door card back on, turned on the car and I have nothing working on the drivers side switch(window wind up/ mirror movement) before it was just the drivers side window not moving. I dug out my laptop with VCDS and it said it had...

Cheers for the advice. I managed to change it and get it back in. But may have to mess with it again tomorrow as it was getting too dark. The only issue, I had is the little black clip that goes into the door near the speakers was facing the wrong way, so I couldn't clip it in and the metal...

I notice a small nick in one of the small wires, Im thinking I should put algamating tape on that wire. Also another little nick, which I would guess is showing a little insulation?

I've just received a replacement wiring loom. Some of the while clips are damaged, do you think it's worth cutting the white clips of the old one when removed and putting them on the new one? What are they attached to the wire with? Is it algamating tape?

I managed to get the rubber grommet/boot off. At least 3 wires are broken. Not sure if I might have broke one wire further as the key fob is not locking my door afterwards now. I can manually lock the door though. Does this mean I need a wiring loom or repair kit? Anybody know the part numbers...

Looks like I'm joining the club. I'm having the same issue that others have had over the years it seems. My Drivers side window won't go down, when pressing the button I could hear a single click sound and nothing else, no movement, etc. I attempted to pull off the rubber grommet where the...

Here's a look at the pesky bolt!

Cheers, I grabbed a couple of drill bits from the local hardware store in the morning, after much more drilling I was able to get the nut out with screw extractors. It was a mission. Now, I've got the ignition barrel out. Is it a case of just shaking banging the old one to hope whatever is...

Quick question. What is the security bolt made of material wise? My drill bits for metal, are taking ages to make a hole. Spent about 4 hours to get around 3mm to 4mm max hole. Is there any sort of drill bit that's recommended for tackling the bolts? Had a 1 and 1.5 drill bit snap, but pushing...

The drill I borrowed was too big, with shaft being 21-22cm long. Couldn't get under the bubble without a drill bit inserted. There was a small Dewalt impact driver I could borrow but it takes sockets, so I couldn't fit drill bits into it. I'm thinking of buying a right angle drill, with chuck...

Tried some penetrating fluid this morning, left it to sit for 5 minutes before trying that dreaded left bolt again. Tried for about an hour, still no luck . I've sprayed the nut again and will leave it for abit. Somebody has a drill that might be able to fit in the space, as it's smaller than...

Yeah, I hope I'm nearly there lol. I might see if I can get a small chisel. I might aswell pretend I'm in Prison Break, trying to cut through the wall with a toothbrush lol. Penetrating fluid, would normal WD-40 do? As I have some at home, but if there's something better I don't mind grabbing...
