you saved me from turning the wires over and over thanks pal ! best & easiest way to put the wires together next each other ! keep turning and never give up 😁
Spent 3 hours at night yesterday fighting the wire, watched your video and then today between putting the kettle on and makingy my Mrs a cuppa all was done! Winding it up with pliers makes all the difference, takes really less than 2 minutes!
Thankyou, Terrible job as in frustrating. I also found that the old grease had hardened so cleaned it down with some brake cleaner then applied new grease. First method worked for me, should we even be buying cars made in a country where they drink wine most of the day. . 😉
Thanks to this video I did my wife's 508 yesterday. Now I'm going to order for the two rear doors...I must say it was frustrating..Took me good 2 hours and more.
Glad it helped you. It is a frustrating job but 2 hours is pretty good first time. Using the piece of card to stop the wire coming off the wheel really helps
@mphomogashu woul you mind doing a pictorial step by step guide? I know it would be a PIA but I reckon it'll help novices like me to undertake a DIY job like this.
Great instructions dear bro. I just fixed my right rear window with the kit. At 8:43" I found the 2nd method of the upright twist and turning into position easier for me. Interestingly the one that you removed from the car was the same original part that peugeot "upgraded" on all four doors upon a warranty recall. Originally, the parts were fully plastic like the kit, but that failed in 2 rear windows of my car after just a year as the weather/heat warped it. I hope the current repair lasts. Cheers n Thank you bro!
Want to thanks mate. Stuckwith my cx9 for two hours. The design is different but same concept. Iused a clamp on the wiire instead of the bit of Card but worked. Cheers
@@thpxs0554 well my old man and i were giffling with the bloody springs flinging everywhere for hours... Looked on youtube and uour the only person to adress the spring loaded mechanism. Love the work mate. FromPerth Australia.
did this on sunday and it took me a while long as after I had used long nose players to turn the dam flipped off, now done, on Monday that to took me a while longer as when I fitted it back in a could not understand why it wouldn't fit until I was bothered enough to look inside and saw I was trying to fit it in past a piece of metal ( a strengthened I think) once I realise this it all went together fine and ret set the window position by either moving the window to the close or open position then holding the switch for 7 seconds, all done works fine now I just need 4 new tyres as my mot is due.
Brilliant mate.. been looking for this for ages... Thankyou very much.. i have just bought the part needed and will give it a go.. i am a bit ham fisted but hey ho i want know till i try.. Thanks again.. It is a bloody silly system though.. 👍
I probably spent about 2 hours trying to wind the cables around the drum without sucess. Then I noticed that the window regulator I was working with was not an original part yet it had also failed. The cables were actually shorter than the ones included in the replacement kit! I had to modify all parts in order to get a working window regulator again.
Yo todavía fuí un paso más allá,si cabe,en lo de "repárelo usted mismo" pues reparé es plástico roto y no necesité de recambio. Incluso enderecé los cables que estaban doblados. Sí,ya sé que es el colmo de la tacañería,pero me jode mucho que una ventanilla que usé cuatro o cinco veces sólo se me rompa su mecanismo. Quedó funcionando y creo que va a durar más que las otras ventanillas.... Se me da bien reparar cosas y soy mecánico 😊
Hola. Estoy con el mismo problema y necesito reparar el plástico o modificarlo para poderlo reutilizar porque una punta del soporte esta partida. Esa pieza plástica no está disponible en Argentina. Como lo arreglaste o modificaste al plástico ??. Pudiste reutilizar los mismos cables de acero ??, porque se marcan un poco. Muchas gracias.
Thanks Sir for doing a video on it. I had a Peugeot 407, and all of them kept failing. I ended up replacing all of them. Now i have a Pug 508 2018, one window has failed already. I wonder why Peugeot keep this poor design
I bought a similar repair kit and noticed that the cables are not the same length. So which one goes where? I have watched this video several times but failed to fully understand. Is there a step by step tutorial available?
I changed it the same way. but the glass remains 1 finger up at the lowest position. Also, when I want to close it automatically, it lowers the window as if something is stuck. I had to calibrate. But since the window was not closed, I could not calibrate it. What should I do? Can you help me?
Reset Procedure Start your 508. Close all the doors and windows. Open the window by pressing and holding the window control switch. When the window is fully open, keep the switch pressed for a few seconds. Close the window by lifting and holding the window control switch. When the window is fully closed, keep the switch held for a few seconds. Note: Repeat the procedure if the window does not automatically close with one press of the switch. If it still doesn’t work, repeat the procedure without starting the engine and the ignition in ON position. To turn on the ignition in vehicles with start/stop button, press the button without pressing the brake pedal. Reset Procedure 2 If the above reset instructions do not work for your 508, then this alternate method may work. Start your 508. Close all windows and doors. Open the window by pressing and holding the window control switch. When the window is fully open, keep the switch pressed for a few seconds. Release the switch, then press it again and hold it for a few seconds. Close the window by lifting and holding the window control switch. When the window is fully closed, keep the switch held for a few seconds. Release the switch, then pull it upward again and hold it. The one-touch up and down features will then be fully functional. Note: If the window still doesn’t automatically close in your 508, repeat the procedure without starting the engine and the ignition in ON position. To turn on the ignition in vehicles with start/stop button, press the button without pressing the brake pedal.
@@thpxs0554 I took the wires out and re-wrapped them and it was fine. Now the automatic lifting mechanism works properly. There is no need for calibration. The round, white, threaded part directly connected to the engine has a direction. Perform the winding process by checking the wires. Thanks for everything.
I did, but I got tired of the lines, because they were supposed to be the other way around and the glass reached the end and fell 5 cm down, I do not know why the telinks are of different lengths and the old ones were even, thanks
@@floridahummer I ended up fitting the cable about 4-5 times cos I missed it on the camera and got the camera the wrong way up etc, once you get the knack the whole job is 10 minutes. Just make sure the cables are in their correct groove so as one vacates a groove the other one fills it, if they cross you’ll have a big mess. You can and probably should slide the sliding plate down the rail rather than clip it over like I did. Which is how I’ll do the next one. That saves stressing the new plastic slider. Let me know if you sort it 👍
I can’t say for sure but the wheel is 48.5mm diameter . 13mm thick and has 22 teeth for the motor drive. But the 208 has a different regulator, with 2 sliders. The cables will be much longer as well. But if you get yours out it may just need a simple part like a new wire, than you can make from a cycle cable.
@@thpxs0554 I got my regulator out because I had it "broken". Found out the probably the issue is the wheel being so worn that wires slips out. Would honestly be so sad to spend +100 euros on a new entire piece just for the wheel
@@Vaynecenzo that’s why I sent you the measurements, so you don’t waste money taking a chance on buying a 508 wheel. But if the wheel is worn like in my video then the wire groove gets deeper and holds the wire even better. If it’s worn on the motor drive teeth then you need a new one. Usually on those two slider systems one of the small wheels at the end breaks then it goes round the drum and mangles everything. But for sure a 508 cable won’t fit a 208 regulator. But the wheel might
@@Vaynecenzo if the measurements for the wheel I gave you are close then it’s worth taking a chance for £10 buying the 508 kit. But it must have the same number of drive teeth in the middle.
thanks for the movie, today I will do it and from what the translator explains to me, I hear that you paid 10 pounds, I in Poland 80 PLN is some with the shipment, it is about 13 pounds, which is more than yours, and our employee's earnings are about 3,000 PLN, which is 600 pounds, it's like not to fix it yourself
Hi, there are EBay sellers in Turkey Lithuania and Germany . There are problems with shipping to the EU due to BREXIT. You must get the correct repair kit for your window. Left and right are different and possibly front and back are different . The 2 wires are the same length. One gets longer and the other shorter as the window goes up and down. I suggest you remove the window mechanism first to find out what has broken. Before you order the repair kit. I would remove the mechanism and then secure the window with a piece of wood from underneath inside the door. If you use adhesive tape to secure the widow, it will fail and the window fall into the door and break. I have seen that happen. You may find that yours has a broken part that is not in the repair kit. Sometimes the small wheels can break
@@thpxs0554 thanks for the advice, but I already bought on the Polish allegro and took off the cover in the door and the cable fell there, the mechanic said that the plastic has definitely broken, just like in your movie, this afternoon I will be replacing, when I finish it, I will let you know how it went, but I have these lines of different lengths, I have to the door on the right in the back from the passenger, of course in Poland there is right-hand traffic than left-hand traffic
@@mr.zbych1002 hi, the translation is not clear enough for me to understand what you mean by lines. On the repair kit I used in the video both the wires ( cables ) were the same length. If you mean wires inside the door and not for the window then I’m sorry I can’t say where they go. I would only replace the damaged parts . Any original parts that are ok, I would re-use. If the original cables are ok then I would keep them . Sorry if I’m not understanding you properly, I know what it’s like trying to give information in a different language. I speak Spanish and it can lead to mis understandings
The worst car I've ever had-Peugeot 508 sw 2012 year.All 4 windows are done.Here in Germany is very expencive to change this-around 250 euros for a window and part cost 30 euros only. I dont recommend anyone Peugeot to buy.We have already more then 8 000 euros invested in this car 😅
