Hi all
Does anyone know a reliable Auto Electrician working in adelaide that could diagnose and repair a faulty electric sliding door. If the electric motor was the issue, it has reportedly already been replaced with a new factory part.
An Auto Electrician (Electroserve) and VW Solitaire Commercial who I have already engaged failed to resolve the issue - refer background at the end of this message.
When I took the car in to Volksfactory for service, the mechanic was able to pull the following codes from the controller (but not really their thing to repair):
Address 78: Slide Door, Right
Control Module Part Number: 7HO 959 243 3
Component and/or Version: Schiebetuer-SG
Software Coding: <nil>
Works Shop Code: WSC 00000 00 00000
VCID: 393AFDE471DEF282D2-50F4
1 Fault Found:
02356 - Data Transfer to Sliding Door
012 - Electrical Fault in Circuit
Background- Tale of less than satisfactory service below - couple of months ago now:
I took the car into an auto electrician at Electroserve who diagnosed the problem as likely being a broken electric motor ... new factory electric motor installed ($1700 part+labour), but the door would still not function correctly. The auto electrician explained that his diagnostic computer could not communicate with the door controller, and I would need to take to a VW Dealer to program the controller ...
So I took to Solitaire Commercial who prior to attending managed to email and SMS me about the booking, but after taking the car in on a Thursday morning, and not hearing from them by 3pm, I followed up and they claimed they had tried to call but couldn't get through and could I authorise up to 10 hours of labour at ~$170/hr to diagnose the fault. Given I needed the car on the weekend, I said "no". When I picked up the car, Solitaire scheduled a follow up booking, but I have not heard from them since (except for new car marketing material spam to my email of course).
Need to update my profile: The Polo was sold to my father in law ... up sized to a multivan.
