Replacing the Window Regulator Motor on a Mini R50

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Starter motor

This video shows you how to remove the window regulator motor from the door. Before doing this, you will need to remove the door panel itself (if you don't know how to do this, refer to our other tutorials). After doing this, use a metal tool and a rubber mallet to remove the metal rollers shown in the video. This way, you can slide out the window glass, which will now be free. At this point, unscrew the three screws that secure the motor. After completely "emptying" the door, proceed to reassemble the motor, the window gears, and the glass.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
