I have an A2 Audi car with the front nearside window stuck down, when operating the electrical switch the motor starts for a brief second then cuts out. I have removed the motor assembly & managed to raise the window manually, it is however very stiff.The nearside Front window is stuck down, I have removed the motor assembly and managed via turning the gear wheel to raise the window. The gear wheel was very tight to turn as if something is jamming. As I do not want remove the whole inner door panel unless I have to, I first ask what the problem can be.

lube always helps, alot of times if things work then it's just a matterof putting newlube on it to make things slide better. But checkfor pinching tracks or a bad motor. the window track may be pinching the window making it do this. try some silicone spray on the window track.

I had a simular problem and got a new remote window part costing £30 and it didn't make a difference , it went on for ages and the garage suggested, i get more parts , at enormous cost too, i said i would stick without not being able to open fr now, , anyway , just by chance after nearly giving in and replacing the window as suggested, my car was dead, (interior light left on ) so i jump started it and hey presto all my electric windows and digital display started working again perfectly and i have had no further problems ,
