drivers side electric window p38
Discussion
Hi all,
just started having a problem on wifes 2000 dhse, when you put the drivers window up it sounds like it jumping the winding cog when it reachs the top. Also "window not set" message appears on dash, tried to set window, but no luck.
So can anyone tell me is this;
[a] a fault with the outstation on drivers door?
[b] a fault with the window motor?
I do not know which of these dictates when to cut the motor, is there a micro switch in the winder gear, or a sensor that notes glass position? I live in France, and my nearest dealer is miles away, plus bloody expensive.
If I do not get this sorted, I know it will damage the winder mechanism sooner rather than later.
Please help

My Autobiography does exactly the same thing and has done since I bought it!
I can say for certain that it isn't the outstation (I've replaced mine) and there is no microswitch limit switch. There is a hall effect sensor on the motor that is supposed to remember where the 'fully up' position is. My assumption is that this sensor is faulty. As the only cure looks like a replacement motor and this is a fairly laborious task, I've never bothered to replace mine. I have to say, it hasn't caused any damage to the mechanism (yet!) and its been a couple of years now.....

Yep, I'd agree with BT. The teeth on the regulator (the mechanism that does the lifting/dropping) and the motor will be worn causing the dreadful noise you experience when the window is being pushed to fully closed against it's endstop.
Replace them as a pair to make sure the problem doesn't return for a long time. It is a PITA job (the regulator is originally pop rivetted to the door skin) but more fiddly than requiring an indepth knowledge of the car. There are no switches to re-set or anything that needs plugging in to Testbook. Once you've fitted the the new parts, use the button to roll the window up and down a few times and hold it against it's endstops until you hear the relay 'trip'.
A quick trawl of our favourite internet auction site revealed: The regulator on it's own, item number: 370125199104, or the motor and regulator combined: 120345332450

Which is a bind as when I replaced the one in my 110 it was about 11 quid. It is a simple job once you have the door card off.
BTW that is just an example, I don't know if that is the right one for your motor.
