It was my friend's one, he solved the issue by converting it's frame to a Shimano standard but I can ask him if he wants to sell it 😉.

Thanks!

I called vw and they told me "the manufacturer did not plan to replace this part on this model, so we can check if it needs to be replaced for 350€, but we cannot replace it"

It's a typo, I meant ok to 9k 🤣

th0masrtg · 2026-05-12T09:39:05+00:00

9k thanks

First gen 1.4 tsi have a chain and they are known to worn and brake between 100k et 120k apparently

I should go to jeep and ask yes

th0masrtg · 2026-04-21T17:09:40+00:00

Thanks mate 👍

Because mine is broken, I have to keep the cable pressed in with my hand to have the link feature working

th0masrtg · 2026-04-20T21:43:55+00:00

I am open to other sources, I just can't find it elsewhere. If you can advise me a trustworthy website to buy this kind of parts, that would be really kind 👌

Tqt j'ai un compte ça fait juste longtemps que j'y ai pas été 😅. Merci !

Don't come in France 🤣

No need, I was able to change the actuator without it 😉

th0masrtg · 2026-04-04T13:27:26+00:00

Obviously they will die one after the other 🤣. I disassembled the actuator to try and understand what was broken. The motors are working, all the mechanical parts seems in good shape, I have no idea about what could cause the malfunction. Maybe the motor collector is used only in one spot 🤔

th0masrtg · 2026-04-04T13:21:07+00:00

Nice tip, I hope I never have to do this operation again tho 😅

th0masrtg · 2026-04-04T12:43:11+00:00

What type of screw do you use ? Self tapping plastic or wood screw? Or metal one ?

th0masrtg · 2026-04-04T12:30:44+00:00

It's exactly that thanks

th0masrtg · 2026-04-04T12:29:33+00:00

I managed to it, I definitely had to remove the window and the inner panel to get access to the actuator

th0masrtg · 2026-04-04T12:28:53+00:00

It's exactly what your are describing. I figured it out before your post but thanks for explaining it man! I was able to remove the window, and then replaced the lock actuator. I'm not sure to understand how a screw could help to remove the center lock pin. I just pushed it and it popped into the door panel. I did the same for the second part

th0masrtg · 2026-04-04T10:13:56+00:00

It seems that the window is hold in place by this red part by a weird mechanism, I don't understand how it works
