  1. https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/littleton-rare-2010-subaru-legacy-25gt/7019973332.html Spoiler alert... it's mine! So sad to be parting with this awesome car, but I had an opportunity pop up that I couldn't turn down. I've loved learning from and being a part of this forum for the last few years!
  2. Just spent some time working on this. I tried repositioning the glass, loosening the clip attached to the glass, loosening the screws of the entire assembly, all to create space for the glass not to bind. I also pulled the glass up with my hand while pulling the switch up, to aid the motor in pulling the glass up and prevent any overloading. None of these things affected the behavior of the window—it looks just like the video in #3 above every time. I’m wondering if I got a bad regulator assembly. If it is binding somewhere and that is tripping the circuit, it is doing so equally throughout the entire upward movement. I wonder if the binding is somewhere in the assembly and not the glass. I’m thinking of returning this regulator unit and ordering another. Thoughts? Am I missing something? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. cww516 really helpful. Thanks a lot. I will look at the guides and see if anything needs to be cleaned or adjusted. Is there a proper way to reset the positioning of the glass? I'm not sure how much wiggle room there is where the white plastic clip attaches on the bottom of the glass, but maybe if I loosen those I can try to tweak it. I will report back after trying this, though it may not be until this weekend when I can work on it.
  4. Good thoughts... I had heard that about auto-up/down. I'll wait til it operates properly to worry about that. As for the binding... would that be a possibility even when the window operates just fine with direct battery power? My understanding was the breaker is part of the motor unit, and the motor seems to work fine with direct power (#4 from OP). Do you know if that's the case?
  5. My driver's door power window quit working awhile ago and I've just now begun trying to fix it, but have run into all sorts of dead ends. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the source of the problem is!! Let me explain. 1. After the door card was removed, and upon pushing the PW button, I could hear the motor "click" but nothing would happen. If power was getting to the window, I figured some part of the motor went bad. Ordered a new motor/regulator. 2. Upon receiving the new motor/regulator unit and prior to installing, I removed the motor wiring harness and plugged it into the new unit to ensure this was the issue. The new motor worked just fine. 3. I removed the old regulator and replaced it with the new unit. Problem solved!? Not quite. With the new motor, the window goes down fine...however, when the switch is pulled to bring the window up, it goes about .5 inch and stops. Pull again, half inch again. Watch here: https://gofile.io/?c=CoR7cK. Additionally, auto-down and auto-up are non-functional. 4. I removed the motor wiring harness and powered the motor directly from the battery. Goes up and down just fine. 5. I swapped the P/W relay in the fuse box of engine compartment. No change. 6. I picked up a master switch unit (the door unit with all window switches and lock switch) at a local junkyard. No change. SO.... I'm stumped. New motor, switch, relay.... what else is there?
  6. Would love to see more pics of the rear wing. Where did you pick that up? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. Is there a non-turbo s4?? I need to do a little googling... Tough thing about audis is the maintenance and parts cost. Might push you to do your own work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Sad news! Enjoyed watching your build! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. That might be the lowest price (decent condition) 5th gen I've seen yet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. If practicality (and maintenance costs) was no issue, I would love to take a look at a BMW 335. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Just finished reading through this entire thread over the last week. Wow.... what a ride! And a really good education. Thanks Jackal for chronicling it all and sharing it with us. Btw, I love all the initiative you've taken with this... no lip service, you get stuff done. Well done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I second that! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
