4 year old Polo 2nd Electric Window failed. Any other Polo owners out there experienced the same problems?

Bim,

Do you mean a 2nd winding motor has failed or do you mean another window has failed.

This car has had problems with the cable harness fracturing in the door hinge.


Regards



Peter

The window regulator went on my Polo when it was only 15 months old too. I read somewhere that this is a common weakness with Lupos, Polos and their Seat equivalents.

Yes. Mine is a 2001. Ended up replacing switch in driver door for both windows. £5 part, £70 labour from local Auto Electrician. All working great now.

Also, a friend had a 2002 Polo. Same problem and solution. They also noticed there is a channel and water can works its way down the wiring. The effect is to dirty the wiring/switch.
