Thank you so much for all your guidance . Managed to change my daughter's unit with all your help. 1.5 hours and all done . Just a note , managed to do the job without taking out the speaker. Just need smaller hands and putting the top bolt in to align the bracket making it easier to fit the bottom bolt . Best Joe

[@sebvrooij5355]

Thanks, love your genuine approach! I removed airbag cable without any drama… ignition was off

[@TheDutchGarage]

I wouldn't take the risk, but glad it worked for you! And money saved.

[@martinroscoe6890]

Thanks for a great video. Fitted new mechanism to my daughters polo at the weekend and it was more straight forward than expected. Had to remove the speaker for access but apart from that it went without a hitch! cheers.

[@TheDutchGarage]

And money has been saved. We the Dutch approve hat!

[@DavidD867]

[@TheDutchGarage]

Wel I hope everything will be going smoothly.

[@conhoolio3683]

Thanks so much, got the passenger side done without removing the speaker. Broke a load of the door card clips, luckily they are cheap to replace.

[@TheDutchGarage]

👍Saved some money there.

[@rudihaupt1839]

Thank you, weary help full I need to replace the same on my daughters polo as well.👌👍

[@steffaustermann8293]

Nice this video is still up because my window cable snapped 2 days ago

[@john3729]

Bedankt voor de video. Kwam goed van pas met het vervangen van het raammechanisme in mijn polo.

[@TheDutchGarage]

[@leovdwater8739]

Zelfde probleem met een 3 deurs... ik ga het ook zelf uitvoeren Goede video en heel duidelijk

[@TheDutchGarage]

Gaat je zeker lukken. Wel voorzichtig zijn met het glas uiteraard.

[@spilios_o_gerbesiotis]

very good video guys.you fully understood me. can i ask can one change only the rope and not the whole lifting mechanism?

[@pinkeycivic]

Sorted, cheers!

[@TheDutchGarage]

Good job!

[@awtawt2087]

great vid chaps, few minor points I had to overcome, I was puzzled by the regulator when it arrived from Autodoc I thought no way would it fit, until I realized it fits in at a slight diagonal angle, also the bolts to hold the glass were weird, like reversed allen key things. I was a bit cheesed off with the speaker, it must have been botched when fitted as the holding flange had huge pop rivets to attach it and they had all cracked the cheapo brittle plastic, so I drilled 3 fresh holes through what was left and into the door panel and re-rivited it with thinner rivets, quite adequate, If it was factory fitted it was very poorly done. I didn't bother to remove the window strips as the glass came out quite easily and I cleaned them in situ. Your video was invaluable and very helpful, being the same car as mine. Also the Autodoc part was very reasonable, cost me £43.00 inc. post, to repair, if I had gone to a main dealer I dread to think what it would have cost me. It only took me about 3 hours and much easier than I thought thanks to you guys. p.s. I would add I bought this car thinking it would be trouble free for my retirement , was I wrong, its been crap and I hate the grabby breaks and I soon replaced the stupidly big rear mirror. I think I'll change it for a Jappy when I can afford to.

[@TheDutchGarage]

Wel glad we could help you out, autodoc is a great place to get your parts. It is indeed a bit of a puzzle we also struggled with it be course the old one was broken and we had no idea how the routing went. Sorry to hear that you have some issues with the car, fortunately parts are cheap and the car is easy to work on. But I think you had other plans for your retirement. Do something fun!

[@OsmanGaziPasha]

Thank you

[@TheDutchGarage]

No problem.

[@abelmon6944]

[@TheDutchGarage]

Thanks!

Knap werk binnenkort ook een klus voor mij bedankt voor de duidelijke video

[@TheDutchGarage]

Graag gedaan, succes met de klus!

[@nettube37]

Great video and well explained.👋 I have the same problem on the passaging side of my wife's Polo. Need to get in done . What would be the approximate price to have done from start to finish?. I live in Marbella. southern Spain. Could you recommend a good Mechanic? 😊

[@nettube37]

Great video and well presented.. My wife has a VW pOLO 1400 - YEAR 2001. The left hand front Flashing direction light has just been changed but does not turn on with using the lever by the steering wheel. Only works (all lights back and front by pressing the Triangle stop indicator) Could it be the fuse has gone?. What is the best way to fix this?

[@paulwilcox1712]

Great video lads. I'm going to attempt this job in the next few days, only problem is my window is stuck about a 3rd up. Will i be able to access the front glass clamp through the speaker hole?as it doesn't line up with the access hole

[@TheDutchGarage]

Thanks, the best thing you can do is remove te motor en try to push it down. If that doesn't work. Cut the cable.

[@Docs911]

Zelfde model, zelfde issue. Dit gaat wel helpen bij het vervangen van het mechanisme 🙂

[@TheDutchGarage]

Mooi man, het is prima te doen!

[@leviroots498]

How to change without power to the window switch though ? My windows won't go up and down on both switches?

[@12c31]

Any video on putting the wire into it?

[@florinlupascu1816]

After i have change this the windows it’s lift it up to hard /slowly and down de same too. Any solutions ?

[@shanellaroelands8461]

Thank you for your video, much appreciated! I was wondering from which year the Volkswagen Polo is since my window mechanism just broke.... My car is from 03/2010 also a 6R model but the OEM number that I found for my car on the internet is not the same as in the description. Is the exact car part in the video also possible for my car? :)

[@TheDutchGarage]

I honestly don't know. Contact your part supplier to double check

[@folk.]

I did unplug the side impact sensor while switch was on. The airbag light came on and had to be reset from fault code registry. No airbag went off. Still you are right. DO NOT UNPLUG THE SENSOR.

[@TheDutchGarage]

Better save then sorry, glad it worked out in the end.

[@Arnogorter]

Bedankt voor de video! Denken jullie dat het installeren mogelijk is zonder de speaker te verwijderen?? Ik wil dit graag gaan proberen maar heb geen rivet tools... Het oude systeem kan er uit, dan moet de nieuwe er toch ook weer langs in passen?

[@TheDutchGarage]

Hallo, Ik denk wel dat het mogelijk is want je kan hem er ook uitkrijgen zonder de speaker te verwijderen. Maar het zou wel een lekkere puzzel worden.

[@atblacksam]

@@TheDutchGarage gaat vlotjes zonder de speaker te verwijderen ;-)

[@TheDutchGarage]

Mooi man, beter om.

[@luukkierkels1914]

Stomme vraag. Ik heb precies hetzelfde aan de hand maar dan rechts voor. Als ik op internet kijk zie ik alleen maar mechanismes voor 5 deurs. Is er een verschil tussen 3 deurs en 5 deurs? Ik heb namelijk een polo 6r 3 deurs

[@TheDutchGarage]

Dag!, volgens mij zijn deze gewoon het zelfde.

[@Hakkeholt]

even op 7zap catalogus kijken.

[@colmohiggins7344]

I did not disconnect the battery and now the airbag light is on my dash, have i damaged the sensor or do I just need to reset codes ? Great video , really helped 👍

[@TheDutchGarage]

That sucks! You can try to reset it. If the code comes back try to get a code.

[@colmohiggins7344]

Is there anyway to rest it without using vag com?

[@TheDutchGarage]

@@colmohiggins7344 Maybe remove the battery for a couple of hours. Else get yourself a cheap obd/abs reset tool. The MD802 MD805 from autel are cheap and really good for the price.

[@colmohiggins7344]

Thank you , really appreciate it 👍

[@kylian043]

Moet je het raam er compleet uithalen , of is dat alleen voor het wat makkelijker te maken ? En de speaker loshalen is dat ook een MOET of ook alleen voor handiger bij te komen ?

[@TheDutchGarage]

Raam moet je er wel uithalen maar is makkelijk te doen. Speaker hoeft er niet persé uit maar kan even knoeien zijn.

[@kylian043]

@@TheDutchGarage jaa maak me ook meer zorgen met terug erin te krijgen haha , maar dankjewel voor de reactie !

[@tomwilliams1396]

Hi there my window on my polo is stuck down so where them holes are to undo the grips theyre not in there as its fully down and womt go up, any suggestions what I can do?

[@TheDutchGarage]

I do think you have to cut the wire and then pull it up manually.

[@narmadapalace9392]

Nice video, I changed my both front side with the help of local mechanic who charged only 2 to 3$ and didnt need to bring out speakers too

[@TheDutchGarage]

That's a bargain!

[@grahamfrench340]

I've got to do this job, thanks guys, it's a wonder if the German's know they can't design reliable mechanisms for car doors why they don't just get hold of a Japanese car and copy that?

[@stonecoldt]

Bij de airbagsensor moet ik dan de zekering eruit halen of hoe werkt dit? Mijn mechanisme aan de passagiers kant is vandaag helaas kapot gegaan en ik wil het zelf proberen. Het enige wat mij weerhoud is de airbagsensor

[@TheDutchGarage]

Massa van de accu afhalen. Dan zit je safe.

[@stonecoldt]

@@TheDutchGarage bedankt!

[@stonecoldt]

@@TheDutchGarage weet u misschien of verschil zit tussen 3 en 5 portieren raammechanisme?

[@TheDutchGarage]

Ik weet niet zeker als ze 100% gelijk zijn. Maar er zijn fabrikanten die zeggen dat het voor 3 en 5 deurs is en er zijn fabrikanten die speciaal voor elk model een systeem heeft. Goed lezen dus voordat je besteld.

[@mihaiionescu4202]

Did u disconnect the battery? I will do thia job on soon. Is it okej to work around the airbag sensor?

[@TheDutchGarage]

Yes, we did. Just to be save

You can also buy new cable-sets on ebay. "Reparatursatz fensterheber polo 6r"

[@TheDutchGarage]

That's good to know, but i don't think I want to mess around with those cables.

[@almaz405]

Hi, I see that this part isn't OEM. Is it good quality?

[@TheDutchGarage]

Hi there, it's still working fine.

[@johnallen4176]

I have found the cables in these mechanisms also are prone to fraying and breaking

[@TheDutchGarage]

It's pretty common these days. Fortunately it isn't the hardest thing to replace.

[@tink_a]

For me one of the wires rusted and ripped. Totally sucks!

[@Hakkeholt]

@@tink_a Same here

[@Antidote96x]

Ik heb dus het probleem met mijn polo dat als ik mijn raam naar beneden doe het soort krakend geluid klinkt en sinds vandaag bleef me raam hangen en uiteindelijk met moeite dicht gekregen maar mijn raam zit niet los zal het dan wss aan de motor liggen dat die niet genoeg kracht meer levert om heb omhoog of naar beneden te krijgen ??

[@TheDutchGarage]

Dat kan zeker. Maar, De kabel begint te roesten en glijd steeds moeilijker waardoor de motor harder moet werken. Mischien kom je weg met smeren maar denk dat het vervangen wordt.

[@jeffreytaylor1787]

I've had the cables tangle and snap . Tried replaceing them with no luck. Can anyone measure the cables and give me the sizes .I'll need to get cables made up . As well as the spindle

@@TheDutchGarage thats true Iniedergeval geval bedankt

[@Sterner75]

Can you explain one more time how you did with the airbagsensor in all steps please?

[@TheDutchGarage]

We decided not to remove the sensor. We disconnected the battery and unplugged the sensor.

[@Sterner75]

The Dutch Garage thanks :) Did you plug the sensor in before you tested the new mechanism or after?

[@TheDutchGarage]

After, we made sure that everything was back the way we found it.
