Default Window regulator?

My front passenger window does not go up on its own anymore, it will go down no problem but when going up it goes slowly and gets stuck. Is this the regulator that I need to replace or is it a different part?

most likely a plastic clip broken... take off door panel screws then you can check it out.

Yeah, in my case that was my problem. The video Airbag posted shows you how to replace it. You can check it beforehand if you aren't sure, but the problem is usually one of the clips. There's 2 on each front window.

Looks like there's cheaper alternatives on ebay, not sure if they're OEM quality though.

Before I order the clips, do I need to order two or does it come with two already?

you buy them each as far as i know but ask the seller ... if i were you i would get them from Audi .. then you are guarenteed to get the latest rev, not soemone clearing out old stock.

Call Audi and ask them what colour the latest rev is at least , then you will know what you are getting.
