Do I need a new part to fix my Skoda electrics?

Hi, the control unit / window motor in my 2002 Skoda Octavia 1.6 petrol seems to be dead. It's affecting the central locking and mirror adjustment etc. It's a minefield getting a seconhand replacement unit as it has to come from an identical car: ie has to have rear electric windows, no sunroof, electric mirrors etc. Am I better off just biting the bulletand stumping up for a new part from Skoda?

Thanks, Alan

Hi Alan,

We'd definitely advise you to go straight to Skoda on this one.
