Thanks everyone for your help and finally it is now working. I got the WD40 ( other lubricants are available ) and sprayed it everywhere and raised and lowered the spoiler manually with the Allen Key bolt in the motor itself and after a few cycles it started working on the button. Such a relief...
Hi all. Update on spoiler issue. I had a replacement motor arrive today and when i fitted it the motor is working which my old 1 wasn't so i thought BINGO !! we are sorted but unfortunately the spoiler refuses to rise. I can hear the motor working but nothing happening so my spoiler must be...
Also i snapped off one of the 3 studs on the retainer assembly so would it still be useable or would i need to track down a replacement aswell? I was hoping to solder it tomorrow and see if it holds. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks
UPDATE !!!!!!! So after a lengthy delay i finally got to testing the electrical side of things and i can confirm the wiring is getting a live right up until the motor itself. I have 12v coming in but nothing at all from the motor so that's the culprit i hope. Anyone out there have a spare motor...
Hi NF7. I have looked a fusebox diagrams and there is no mention of another spoiler fuse unless it is linked with something else. Can anyone shed some light on this please?
Thanks for the info guys. Do you mean the maxi fuse near the battery when you mention check the fuse or is there another fuse in the main fuse board? Also if i need a motor does anyone on here have a working one lying around by chance? Many thanks
Hi RCZKam and thank you for posting. Apologies for the late reply but today was the first chance i had to check. I did the checks and there is no sound coming from the motor when i push the button. The light comes on the button and it is solid not flashing so would you diagnose the motor as the...
Hi all. This past few days i have a very noticeable whine / whirring sound from below the bonnet of my THP200. I know it is not chain related as that was all replaced in December of last year so could it be alternator or water pump possibly? The noise is more prominent when the engine is cold...
AH I see. It did freak me out a bit when I saw the steam from the bonnet. Yes mine is the THP200 so is this normal and has anyone else experienced this? I was in a rush to the mot centra tbh. Thanks
So guys I went to get my car Mot,d last night. It’s was raining heavily and when I arrived at the test station I noticed what I thought was smoke coming from below the bonnet so I lifted the bonnet and there was nothing. After a bit of head scratching I realised it was the underside of the...
Thanks for the info guys. I will check the switch later today and see if there is anything obvious. As far as the fuse goes I did check it when I first started diagnosing and it looked complete. I might get another fuse and try it. Could the spoiler seize with lack of use? It was quite tight...
