Hi All, 👋 I'm michael a D.I.Y fitter🤣 i have some diagnosis skills but this problem is battling me to my grave. I've recently bought an audi A3 8PA SE Sportback 1.9 tdi BKC with windows not going up or down and thought nothing of it as the switches can go faulty and sometimes the door to body wiring sometimes breaks, but now I'm 2 weeks deep into this and have come to the conclusion the the door wiring and module does not match the body of the car. big surprise I've find out it's been converted to a face lift door from a none facelift door 😳🙄. My predicament i have now is I'm totally unsure what part numbers I actually need to look for to determine the right one for my car? I have looked at the body plug female on the car body and it only has pins 1,2,3,5,6,11,12,13,18,20 that can be occupied from my BCM. but I also don't want to waste money buying the wrong module and looms? SO Sorry for the long post and any help would be appreciated 🙏.

So, sick and tired am I of coming back and finding the most broken/busted up up typically two door Corsa or Renault Clio parked next to me. I park so far away from a store front yet, 'someone' always tends to be right next to me when I get back. I wouldn't mind as much , one individual parked so close I couldn't get in the drivers side (P££s taker), that said there were nearly 100 empty spaces. Only to find it was an 80 yr some odd old lady who said she was having difficulty in parking..Whaaaaaat!!! :|) Anyway for no reason than that, I have finally succumbed to ensuring whomesoever whacks, prangs or clouts the A7 I want it captured, such is the paranoia of not wanting a 'fast repair' company to sort out the open door crease in the side of the car. and to keep my No Claims Down if I really have to claim. Anyway my first place was flEbay - there have some decent deals at the mo, looks like Audi got a boat load they need to shift. I am now going to reside into darkened room whilst I plan my install - once I see words like remove A pillar, b pillar c pillar im capable but not daft I wanna trash the internals. I have attached the preparation list below - if anyone else is up for the challenge - I'm going to definitely try to not to pay Audi £360 for two hours labour The install instruction refer to other instructions which I guess are AUDI technician references - damn I need them #232504331893 is where I got mine including wiring harness, front and rear camera and "installation instructions but not fitters instructions - I made a best offer :) saved £10 So if anyone else taking on this task gimme a shout please, when I install Ill do my best to document and take pics as I do it. (just not today)
