How to adjust the window regulator closure of the Mini R50

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Window switch

In this video we can see how to adjust the power window switch of the Mini R50: in the example we see, the cable has become loose and to fix it we will have to remove the panel, starting from the screw located on the right side of the panel, under a finishing round; a second screw is located near the opening handle, a third on the handle and the fourth on the right side of the handle opening compartment. Once the panel is removed, we can access the mechanism and see that the cable tensioner has loosened and simply needs to be reinforced. Hopefully it has not broken, because this component alone does not exist as a spare part: we would have to repurchase the entire mechanism (which costs about 50 euros) or look for it from a scrap dealer.

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.
