Volkswagen Polo Window Problems(Or Is It Ghosts) Bodgit And Leggit Garage

[@ozzstars_cars]

I have watched three different Bodgit and Leggit vids in one day, I am truly blessed.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Ozzstar wow you must have been so bored

[@ozzstars_cars]

Never watching bodgit vids

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Ozzstar I'm going to have to message Glen I think somebody's hacked his account be nice to him give him back to us🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ozzstars_cars]

+ bodgit and leggit garage Glen is locked in the basement. I won't be releasing him until he reveals the erotic nipple twist secret. Until then I will continue to watch ALL of your vids!! hahaha

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Ozzstar 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@T08Y232]

I just got myself the same polo as a first car and suspect similar issue, speakers dont work when door shut, windows are working funny.. will take a look but I don't have facilities to solder etc, should I disconect battery before touching exposed wires? Thanks v helpfull vid

[@3MinuteHealth]

Nice one mate, just found a broken wire exactly the same, saved me many hours

[@alioshkak7452]

Thank you very much, I resolved the same problem on my polo thanks to your video. It was also a broken wire.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Glad it helped

[@95tt]

I undestand the cheap fix, but i have burnt myself on repairs like this before, the best repair apart from replacing the harness is changing entire wire from connector and make the solder joint inside the door were the loom doesn’t move. Solder joints in that flexi part of the door tend to brake.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

95tt I hear what you're saying mate if I had to solve a number of Wires inside the door flex I wouldn't do it this way with because it was only one I was ok and I could get away with putting covers around the rest

[@alejandrodejesusdefranca6427]

Ya habia desarmado la puerta y estaba casi a bajar el motor y vi este video que me salvo la vida, fui a mi carro y mire esos cables y efectivamente eran esos cables. Estoy agradecido y muchas gracias.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Encantada de que te ayude

[@lesleyelalami2562]

Interesting instructive video. I'm here because I have a vw pOLO Mk 4... I fitted new battery which has confused the locking system. Rear door opens and closes as I'm driving!!! Locked it up and went to supermarket. Came back out and both front windows had lowered themselves fully though they were obviously closed when I locked it. Puzzled. Also the alarm keeps going off randomly. Is there a way to reset the alarm system please?

[@zukigawulekapa5141]

Hi. The front left passenger window doesn't go up... What could be the problem?

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

Nice quick diag & fix Leon. Just goes to show that intuition and experience still has a place in our profession 👍

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

and common sense mate

[@bristolfashion4421]

very entertaining :-) thank you for taking the time & trouble to shoot the vid. Helpful for me actually as I'm replacing the window regulator on my 2004 Lupo and it was great to find out how easy it is to isolate the door electrics with one plug!

[@haywardsautomotive6156]

LMAO at the bullet connector all it does is stress the area more and cause more wires to break. Nice isolation and repair...quick & easy!! Those biscuits are good especially with some German spaghetti ice cream!!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

mmmm i will try that

[@sisandamthalane631]

Hey, why is it that when i take out the keys from the ignition and the car opens the front windows and how do I fix it?

[@Shandybrother]

good work leon, straight to the problem no diag tools amazing!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Shandybrother thanks a lot mate there is no point over complicating things just get to it get it sorted all is good

[@Bladerunner4511]

Great video all vws of that era suffer this I think it's the wire covering seems to go brittle over the years nice tutorial for a very nagging problem have a great day mate

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Paul Stevens thanks a lot for watching mate much appreciated

[@125sm3]

Great job Leon, Nice & easy for a change. Enjoy your biscuits !

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

thanks mate i will mmmmmm

[@marks216]

Spot on mate like every one of you're videos. Keep them coming. Atleast it's not as bad as it could have been (dash out just for a burnt wire)

[@donatasbeksa9097]

The first 40 seconds where he described the problem helped to solve my problem!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Boom started glad it helped you mate

[@stuzman52]

Leon, that damn Bob gets around to a lot of cars over there. You'll probably have to find where he lives and put a stop to him :)

[@OneAuto]

😂😀 Bob! LMAO Terry 👍

[@themechanic6117]

Nice job. Does that car have the same 2.0 that comes in the beetle? Those engines always sound like crap lol

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

hahaha 1.4 3cyl mate

[@OneAuto]

I was going to comment but I can't compete with Terry Stuzman's LMAO

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

One Auto, lol Bob

[@swansealoaf1999]

Both of my windows stop working now and again but now they stop all together do you think if got a similar problem

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Hi mate it's a possibility and definitely worth checking out but if both of them stopped at the same time I don't think this is your problem check your fuses and your relays as well

[@biffadog2]

Thanks for your vid, helped me sort my Polo window fault

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Anytime mate that's what it's all about

[@jimjamha1128]

Good job my ibiza window is messing about il have have a look at the wires... nice motor in the tent..

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

thanks mate

[@brendanbradyfan3589]

Nice easy fix Leon , again you do make it look easy . Loving the mix of accents at the end of the video lol

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

lol thanks mate

[@wyattoneable]

That was a good one and it made me laugh. I'm glad it was an easy one to find. The fix is a bit troublesome but at least you can sit. Oh yeah, those are great snacks. My wife is from Germany so she makes sure we have some treats around. Your going to like those.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

wyattoneable thanks a lot mate for watching much appreciated yes them stacks are definitely nice at least I know where I can get more from now lol

[@saeed17]

Thanks for the detailed and informative video. Is that a 12 gauge wire that needed soldering?

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Hi mate thanks a lot unfortunate I can't remember but I normally go off the amperage not the gauge because the American gauge is different to the UK gauge it gets very complicated

[@saeed17]

@@bodgitandleggitgarage Thanks for getting back to me. Apologies but can you explain how I can identify the wire I'd need?

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

@@saeed17 hi mate there's a few ways of doing it you can measure the outside diameter of the wire that will give you the thickness or you can measure the inside and you can work out how much amps the wire can draw alternatively depending on what you are working on just figure out what the highest temperature will be on that and get your wire to correspond to that but obviously always go higher and amperage and what the circuit will allow this will stop problems in the future

[@aussiebloke609]

55 seconds in...and I'm gonna guess it's a problem with the flex wiring in the door jamb. I can't think of anything else that would connect the door moving with the passenger window wiring, but most cars I've tinkered with have all the window wiring passing through the driver's door switches first. **sits back, grabs some popcorn, and waits to see how it gets "SORTED!"** :-D

[@aussiebloke609]

Addendum: Got it in one! I feel so special...LOL. Back to reality now...nice, quick job, Leon. :-)

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

lol soered!!!!!

[@jamesbrookes6298]

Hi Leon. I have a similar problem with my 57 plate L&K Octavia Mark 2 the nearside rear window goes down on its own after I've locked the car also when I press the window up the window goes down when I press the window down the window goes up. Can you help me on this one please my friend. Thanks buddy. ...Jim.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

hi mate sound like you got some water in your door connection or in your door switches

[@jamesbrookes6298]

@@bodgitandleggitgarage Hi buddy. Thanks for gettin back to me. Ive had the door cards off the drivers door is bone dry & the same with the rear nearside card too & thats bone dry aswell. Everything else works fine just that 1 window working in reverse order for some reason. But its not water ingress causing it. I just wish i could get it sorted coz if i lock the car some time upto an hour later the rear near side window opens, if all the windows are open & i lock the car the 3 windows close but that 1 stays open, if i close that 1 & the other 3 then lock the car that 1 opens again at amy timw uoto an hour later. So its deffo just that 1 working in reverse for some reason. Not a wet or water problem. Have you any other ideas please. Thanks Leon. ...Jim.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

@@jamesbrookes6298 how do you check the door connection going into the car please can get water in and cause problems like you're having

[@jamesbrookes6298]

@@bodgitandleggitgarage Hl Leon. Ive had the drivers door & the problem window door cards off to check things out and they are both dry including the switches and the plug connections is what im saying the is no water or any wetness in them at all. If it can only be water causing this problem then i dont know how as they are all bone dry. Thanks. ...Jim

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

@@jamesbrookes6298 hi mate the next stage is then pulling out wiring diagrams and tracing all the wires and seeing exactly where they go

[@MITSOSZIPPO]

dude you saved us thanks a lot ✌🤟🤘👌👌👌👍👍👍💪💪💪

great video buddy very strange fault to have good job an easy fix

lol

[@lisihoxha7388]

Hello my friend how are you ? I have skoda fabia 2006 and my window just dont open when i remove fuse and put again works for 5 min and dont work again ? If you can help me thnx a milion times ?

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Hi there's a few things it could be one of the motor could be pulling too much amperage and the control unit is shutting it down for safety reasons the other one could be because the window is slipped out of adjustment and putting too much pressure on the motor you're going to have to open the door panel check all the connections get an amp metre see exactly what the motor is pulling and go from there
