Drivers Side window Probs

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Robert lampard, Mar 2, 2007.

  1. I Have a Pug 307 51 plate, I have recently noticed a problem, the other day
    when I opened the window to clear the condensation (lazy I know), and pulled
    the switch up to close it, it got to the top then automatically wound itself
    down about half way. I was trying all sorts of ways edging it up bit by bit
    or by using the key fob lock method, by keeping your finger pressed on the
    lock key until the auto window closure thing activates and winds them up,
    still to no avail. what I have done for now is edged it up so that it seals
    the window but not all the way to the top.

    Does any one know of a fix or is it a garage jobbie, it's still under its 1
    year used car warranty just (one month to go).

    Any help gratefully received
    Robert

    Do a search of the group under windows or window problems. There is a
    fix which works for a 406 and I think I recall posts about other
    models. Something about keeping your finger on the button until the
    window bottoms and keeping it pressed for three seconds. This resets
    something.

  3. On my 406 I had to get the window up and hold for 5 seconds (you hear a
    click) and this restores its knowledge of where the closed position is.
    Don't know if that will work for the OP because his opens again. Possibly
    the same thing might work, as suggested, in the bottom position.

    There's indeed this reset problem, but this should normally only happen
    after disconnecting the battery ... :
    Wind the window completely down and then back up. Keep the switch up for a
    couple of seconds, this should reset the "window position" in the computer.
    I had the same problem with my second hand 307 but after the reset procedure
    the problem came back from time to time.
    They have fixed it in the garage under warranty too.
    I don't know if they just cleaned and greased the mechanism, or if they
    replaced some kind of sensor.

    I wouldn't wait and go to the garage before your warranty expires!!

    Grtz,

    out in the dealers anyway, as its still under warranty.

  6. Yes - definitely get them to look at it. Our 807 ate window regulators -
    one door got through four of them. I really wouldn't have wanted to pay
    several hundred pounds each time to have it looked at out of warranty.

  7. Just to let you know I have booked the car in to get looked at, IO tried the
    reset thing of pulling button up holding but didn't work, never mind next
    Tuesday ill find out, I'm also getting them to check the Auto volume thing
    as that doesn't work either and check the gearbox as occasionally it pops
    out of gear when driving along and judders when changing gear, some times
    its impossible to get it into 1st and reverse, apparently Peugeot (head
    office) are aware of this and may replace my gearbox (yay)

    There are people dotted around the globe, all agog for the outcome
    (and I'm not kidding!).

  10. You have a problem with the anti-pinch function ,it may just need
    initializing or have a tight spot in the runner etc... one of our dealers
    will sort it out .. kind regards mark

  11. If it is a tight spot in the runner, I had similar and was advised on this
    group to squirt a little silicon lubricant into the glass guide channels.
    I did this and didn't even take the door panel off, just opened the window
    and squirted into the rear guide and smeared lubricant on the glass for the
    front one with a little squirt down into the guide mouth. The window has
    been fine ever since.

  12. Well the car is back, And they couldn't find the fault with the Gears, but
    because I took up al offer I had to extend the warranty by a year for
    £349.00 I will monitor it closely.

    The window thing I was told it was to do with the switch, now its great, I
    can just press the button and it automatically goes all the way down and the
    same up (like it should have been) yay,

    The auto volume I was told this was not set up correctly, but I am unsure
    how to test it if they have fixed it or not, any advice - is it supposed to
    show the volume increasing or will it invisibly increase it?
    regards
    Robert
