I FAILED At Replacing My Audi A6 Window Regulator *It's Not Meant To Be Repaired!*

My 2011 Audi A6 is at the finish line. There was one little piece of the puzzle I didn't need to fix, but Diamond Auto Parts shipped me the part so it was decided that I had to. As I started taking the door apart I realized this was possibly the worst regulator job of all time, the entire window frame has to be unbolted and removed, then all the seals have to be ruined just to remove the regulator. Once I got the door apart disaster really struck, come along for the ride, it's a wild one.

[@mydimeisup5103]

They've been pretty good lately actually. Their Gen 3 EA888 2.0T fixes oil burning problems and has proven to be pretty reliable (as far as we know) and this 3.0T Supercharged V6 is pretty bullet proof. They use minimal plastic around high stress areas in the engine (Unlike BMW that uses plastic cooling everywhere) 2013 they got better by fixing the timing chain tensioner in the Gen 2 2.0T but it still had crappy oil control rings until Gen 3. BMW's engine has proven reliable enough that Toyota is using it (though Toyota had to tell BMW to change some parts to pass their stress testing). Are Toyotas and some other cars reliable? Of course. Do they look as good and are as fun and comfortable as a BMW/Audi. No. Some car guys will put up with the inherit more problems in German cars, though I can say for a fact they are much more reliable than they were in the 2000s - 2012s.

[@djnone8137]

I've seen plenty of regulators that are specific to DF, PF, DR,PR. In fact, I've never replaced a regulator that wasent side specific. The guide rail slot on the molded plastic has to be facing a certain direction based on left to right, like a mirrored image. They are always going to face the wrong way if you tried to switch sides. Could be wrong, but I've done quite a few on various makes and models. Never had to remove 1/2 the door frame but with an import I would just assume something dumb would be discovered. The lack of glue and plastic leads me to believe they achieved a water tight seal with that methodology without requiring that stupid tar tack plastic that never goes on again. Bonus points for not needing specialized glue to remount the glass to the regulator. I cannot begin to tell you how often that stuff fails and the glass falls out of the mounting brackets made of plastic. This can either cost you a new glass panel when it shatters or another hour of booktime to rip it open again that you can't charge a customer for.

[@itsnotme07]

Nah, Audi Engineers failed....WTH!! Take 1/2 the door apart to replace a window regulator? Floor looks awesome with the Audi on it!!

[@djnone8137]

You should turn the torque of your impact driver down when taking off tiny screws or working around painted surfaces. Also, using two hands guides the tool prevents it from slipping and bouncing around. You def put a bite on the face of those screws, at least a couple of em. You want just enough torque to break the screw or bolt free. Always set an impact driver to 1 and let em free spin first, then click off till your at a setting to break them free. That will keep your customers bolts, screws, and paint flawless, even if they don't see it.

Same basic design as my A3 (except for the non-reusable insulation--that sucks). Once you do one, it's really a great design and makes changing a regulator way easier than trying to stuff both your hands into the door cavity! Everything comes with tradeoffs, though... One tip, make sure the door frame goes back on and closes against the car in the same spot it did before. There are adjusters inside two of the holes where the large torx bolts go and you have to adjust the frame front to back to get the door to seal. I missed this step and ended up with water on my floorboard. Had to take it all apart to do it again, but now that I know, it's a pretty easy job.
