This just happened to me. If your mechanically minded at all you can fix this yourself. First, push the window button and listen for a click. If you hear the click, what has more than likely happened is the worm gear in motor had bound up against the plastic gears. Remove your door panel, the speaker (the grill pops out and there are four screws), unclip all the wiring and you should be looking at a yellow peice of insulator plastic. Carefully remove the plastic and set it aside. Remove all the window track bolts and the motor to door retaining bolts. Reach up into the door cavity and move the tracks back and forth till they let loose of the window. Take the window out and set it aside. maneuver the track assy. out of the door cavity. Take apart the motor and clean the armature and brushes with 600 grit sandpaper. Open up the area where the gears are and reset the plastic gear. Put it all back together. It's not simple, but it's a hell of a lot better than spending the $200.00 the shop wanted. And now my front driver window works like it's turbo-charged
Of course, if you don't hear the click....your screwed
check out www.discount-vw-parts.com they usually have alot of oem parts and you should be able to find a parts number or a replacement... as for the years you should be able to put anything from 93 to 99 in ... but check out that site it should give you a little more info...
