1999 vw passat tdi 1.8 -window on drivers side not lowering

Hi. I am not sure of the exact workshop flat rate time, but the subframe needs to be lowered. I think 3 hrs is a fair time to do this repair. A wheel alignment would be needed as extra.

firing order is 1-4-3-6-2-5.
physical cylinders and corresponding plugs and wires:
6-5-4 drivers side back to front.
3-2-1 pax side back to front.

Depending upon the actual sounds your hearing the windo could have come off its track, or the linkage between the window motor and the window hardware has become disengaged. In either event you will need to remove the interior door panel in order to observe the proble, and then determine whether you will be able to repair the problem. The access holes are small, and the metal edges are sometime rather sharp. Other than that the job may not be all that difficult if you are mechanically inclined. Dealer cost could be in the $300 range, mor if a new window motor is required.

change anti roll bar bushes.Allso check coil springs are not brocken.

I would replace the wires with a lower gauge wire (thus thicker) this may help this issue

Check alarm module! it's located under the rug in driver side. It may need to be replace. Also check fuses and battery!

check all the fuses on the fuse panel (located on the end of the dashboard). Behind the plastic door, drivers side. Then see if all the windows will go up and down; locking and unlocking the door with the key in the door lock. You have to hold the key in the unlock position to make this option work.
