Used window motors vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Volkswagen Caddy has gone through distinct generations: Mk3 (2004–2015) and Mk4 (2015–2020), with the Mk5 arriving from 2020. The window motor mounting and regulator design changed between these generations, so a Mk3 motor is very unlikely to be a straight swap into a Mk4 or Mk5. Always confirm the generation of the donor vehicle with the breaker before buying.
Electric front windows were fitted to most Caddy variants across the Mk3 and Mk4 generations, though entry-level or fleet-spec vans could occasionally leave the factory with manual windows depending on the order. If you are unsure whether your specific vehicle has electric or manual front windows, confirm with the breaker against your registration before ordering a motor.
Yes, side matters – the NS (nearside, passenger/left) and OS (offside, driver/right) motors and their associated regulators are handed and are not interchangeable. Always specify clearly whether you need the NS or OS motor when requesting a quote from a breaker.
For the front doors, the van and Caddy Life/MPV passenger versions share the same door structure on the same generation, so the front window motor should be compatible as long as the generation and side match. However, if you need a motor for the sliding side door on a van, that is an entirely separate unit and you must also tell the breaker your wheelbase (standard or maxi), as the sliding door size differs between wheelbases.
No – the Maxi has a longer sliding door than the standard-wheelbase Caddy, and the motors and regulators are not the same unit. Make sure you tell the breaker you have the Maxi when sourcing a sliding door window motor, and confirm they can match it to your wheelbase rather than the standard-length van.
Trim level does not affect the window motor fitment on the Caddy – what matters is the generation, the door (front or sliding), the wheelbase, and the side (NS or OS). A motor from a Trendline and a Highline of the same generation and door configuration should be the same unit, though you may find cosmetic differences such as different door cards on the donor vehicle, which is not relevant to the motor itself.
