JIN..... im not sure of that will fit but im just going to go manual windows now.

So here is some inspiration for myself lol!

Nice buy! E30 looked nice too

Did you ever finish the paint correction? It makes so much different to these, especially that colour. They look awful when it's neglected or dirty, but once you clean it up... wow. I hated mine at first too, then I spent a few days bringing the paint back to life and fell in love with the colour.. Here's some detail inspiration




Window regulators can sometimes be fixed simply with a cable tie, think theres a write up on here, worth checking out.

Anyway good luck with it, I wish I could find one for that price...

Thanks for the words of advice! My window regs just make a clicking sound they wont move up or down so I think its more then just the clip breaking. Im trying to finish the paint correction but I own a detailing business and when you do it for everyone else you just cbf doing for yourself.

It's the motor that clicks. The regulator is just attached by that flimsy plastic box thing.

Cool, so you think it will be that the motors are stuffed?

I know that feeling! Im in the same boat, haven't had the time to do my current car properly yet either, even though it bugs me every time I see it...

But yeah if it's just clicking its probably the motor. I might have a spare somewhere I could sell you, if you're interested pm me

If it clicks it usually means the motor is fine. Least in my two cases it has. I haven't been able to move the window either.

Windows are stuck shut, when you push the button you hear a click from the motor and that's it. Is that what yours did? How did you fix them?

Yeah mine acted that way. I just cable tied it back on. Only takes 15 mins.
I'll try find the DIY for you.

Yeah, I looked at them but got the impression that my problem was electrical as the motor just clicked. was something electrical. I might try and get it all out of the door and have a look. In the end I really want to pull the electrics out anyway and go to manual front windows, fixed mounted rear leaxan windows and leaxan hatch window.

Most likely will be just the regulator. I done one a few years back. It is a bitch to take the damn thing out of the door. They had a fascination with making everything a tight fit.

Thanks mate I still haven't had a look lol I will soon but!

Yeaterday I spent a few hours on the VR6. I started off by changing the sparkplugs, the old ones where wet so thats something ill have to look at. After I change them I then changed the gerabox oil with some nice royal purple stuff. I also went and got an exhaust put on the other day I went with a 2.5 inch cat back running a hotdog in the center and a decent muffler up the back, it sounds great but its not loud at all its perfect. Now ill get out there and finish doing the oil, coolant and fuel filter.

I have a question for everyone that reads my build thread, my G/F is selling her MK3 CL 2 door I want her to keep it as we have spent a fair bit of time on the car but she is determined to upgrade to a newer car. So I was thinking about keeping it myself, I love the look of the 2 doors I think they look heaps better then the 4 door golfs but the 1.8 is a painfully slow motor so I was thinking of putting everything from the VR into the CL. The thing that gets me here is I feel that the MK3 VR6 is some what of a iconic hot hatch of the 90's, does anyone else feel the same way or is it just a 4 door golf with a 6 cyl and a some options? Do I pull my interior, running gear, and other bits and pieces that make a VR6 a VR6 and transplant it all into the 2 door? If there where an abundance of VR6s around I wouldn't even think twice about this and I would be 100% throwing everything into the 2 door. So in a round about way the question is really what do you think about pulling apart a genuine running/driving VR6 to make a 2 door VR6?

And for fun this is a pic of both cars sitting side by side.
