Q: The passenger window on my Audi A4 Quattro 3.2 is stuck

asked by on October 25, 2016

There was some issue with Passenger front side window. Finally it got stuck and I was not able to close the mirror. I believe there was an issue with regulator and I visited a mechanic who did not have the parts available at that time but he opened the entire door to just push the mirror up temporarily so that I can drive the car. he found that some wire stuck in between and thats why it was not going up. He removed the wire and cut regulator wire also, pushed the mirror up and fixed it temporarily. immediately after that when I drove my car, it stopped with 50 yards, I started it and again stopped after 50 yards, I faced this issue 3-4 times and after that it is running fine. i believe there is synch up of regulator wire with centralized computer system which was trying to identify the issue, is it. One more thing I observed after that there is one more issue with boot door and I am not able to close it. May it be related to with that regulator wire which was cut down by that mechanic
