Window fuse?

[Nush]

Not sure but my window relay has 343 on it and only one of my window's has stopped working. Mine is a '96 car too..

[Mikes2]

is what came out my 1993 S2. The number on the top is irrelevant. the part number is what's required.

441 959 257 C in this case.

[Ski]

yup thats the sucker.

looks like it must be the thermo fuse.

I'll get one for tomorrow and test again.

Thanx once again guys.

[Nush]

Well mine is different. The part number is 4AO 959 257 and it is a Siemens 79FA404 not 402. Has anyone got one going spare?

[Quattro90]

i just had same thing happen with my 90 quattro sport, it was number 285 right enough and the stealer quoted me 147 pound for it i went to ebay and picked 1 up for 20 quid bargain aint it, and now my windows work perfectly. if it isnt this relay just go to dealer and ask what number is the number for windows they can look it up on there computer thats how i found out. hope you find it!!!

[vonbeck]

hi do you have the link for the relay you bought off fleabay cause i think mines foooked too cheers

[Ski]

Hi guys. The relay i was supplied with has same issue. Ive already replaced the thermal fuse so it must be the relay ... again..

anyone got one up for grabs?

[Ski]

bump.. anyone have a window relay lying around who are willing to sell?

[Coxy]

Ahh, looks like I've got the same problem! Just spent 20 minutes looking at the fuse box thinking where the ****** hell the fuses / relays for the windows is hiding and reading the list on the fuse box lid about 10 times over and still not seeing it!!

Have dumped the car at the unit now as the windows are stuck in the down position so can't even park it up on the drive.
I'll have to have a look on Monday so let's hope it is just the relay, although at £147 for a new one, I hope it isn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Coxy]

Looks like I've got 2 duff relays. Mine says 363 on it. That's [resuming I'm looking at the right one cos it's ******ed on the RS2 and the 80Q Avant now, so I can't even test the one on the other! At least the windows are in the closed position on the RS2!

[Ski]

try your windows again, its an intermittent problem maybe they will wind up before they die again.

When mine get stuck in down position i leave the car for 15 minutes then they work again for 5.

still need a relay, ive stripped the relay and see no dry joins, but my eye sight isnt the best when it comes to electionics..

[Coxy]

Tried several times now over a course of 4 hours!

The RS2 has had an intermittent fault on the windows for about 18 months now. Normlally when it;s hot and you wanna wind them down!!!!!!!!!!

Or when it rains and you wanna wind them up!!!!!!!!!!!


The 80q Avant hasn't had that problem at all, but now they've just stuck down which is a real pita.
Looks like a call to 4 ring spares tomorrow.
The thought of stealers prices don't do much for me, not when I need 2 of the sodding things!

Dam windows

Hi
Been along time but need your advice again
So time for my stupid question

the windows have always worked intermittently now wont work at all
I have the relay out ( 363 ) part no 4A0 959 257
Are there any other relays that would work or does it have to be that particular part no.
Thanks
The car is 1996

Ideally it should be the same however you can fit an earlier relay with a few wiring mods. Have a read here http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthr...ghlight=window , advantage of an early relay is you gain the one touch close function.

I think there is also thermal fuses in the circuit to cut power if the window gets stuck. I bet they are the cause of intermittent operation on warm days.

I have a problem with my windows now. Sometimes does not work any of the windows. Sunroof will also stop. I wonder if this relay also goes on the roof hatch?
But after a while it works again!
