DeTomaso Mailing List: June 2001, Message #65

Cal,

My notes are less than perfect. I wrote down 6....F 12V  then
0-130-A3006. My phone in the garage is a little distorted and I didn't
get the 6....F info down. I was going to go back and have you repeat it
but the second number seemed like the right one so I didn't. If I
remember, you said it was a Bosch motor. What might be as useful as the
P/N would be a picture of the motor if you can get that without
unbolting things. I would think any decent VW parts guy would recognize
it from the picture.

BTW, the real problem with my slow pass side window is not the motor,
it's the (interference) fit! It's been a two day odyssey but I think
I've got it solved. The solution included bending the outer frame, which
I just did. I'll be writing up the details. I'm still looking to replace
the motors at some point thought. Gotta go finish the job!
