Central locking problem, passenger side pops back up

Post by selz »

I have a problem with locking the doors from the inside, when i lock both doors with the central locking button on the drivers door, both doors lock but then the passenger lock pops back up. I took my car to VW last week and they could not find any fault..and funny enough that day the problem stopped! Only next day, it occurred again...don't know what to do ..any advice?

It sounds like the lock is sticking inside. Get some silicon spray or grease in the lock and see if it helps it

Sounds like a common problem which I had with mine. You can buy a lock repair kit from these chaps on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0262854221
