Rite ive had a search and found jack on the problems with mine so here we go :
1. Driver side door lock - central locking is working fine but it doesnt automatically return to the normal position i have to turn it back - is this easily fixable or is it a new lock jobbie ??
2. Interior drivers side rear passenger door handle will NOT
open the door - i have to get out and open it from the outside !! tryed WD40 to no avail !!
Any help will be appreciated !
Two door lock questions !!!
Should have said its a 5-dr the rear drivers side door is unable to open the door - has to be done from outside - v embarrasinghello
right firstly, its a fairly cheap fix had this happen to me, what happens is that theres a castle type spacer inside the door lock which holds the spring in place this has probably broken
you do not need to take off interior door panel
open the door, look where the handle is on outside of door,and just inside recess of door you will find a torx headed screw remove this,then holding door push the handle towards front of car until no further then with draw the lock part from door and then front part of handle door handle is free.
you will be able to see it all broken up, as i can remember theres:
c shape clip sorry no part no. which holds paddle in place
paddle part no.6n0837223a which turns solenoid to lock door
spring part no.6n0837229a
castle type spacer part no.6n0837238c know as a carrier
it is best to order all of these parts no more than £7 from vw and should have in stock, also ask for diagram on how it all fits together they printed one of for me
its abit fiddley to put together have key in lock hold in a vice,you'll need a mate to give a hand also,took me about 45mins to get right so dont lose heart in it
passengers rear door,as rich says have you checked the child lock on rear door,open door and you should find a small latch,move this (it could be in wrong postion) made have been court when cleaning
any more help required please ask
