UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

i broke my book lock on my polo 6n2 because a bag got caught in the lock and i lifted the boot handle to hard and think snapped the spring that unlocks the boot, just wondering if anyone knows where i can get one delivered or if anyone has a spare and if i need to get it specially fitted by a proffesional or if its a D.I.Y job

I would imagine it would be fairly easy to do yourself. undo the two rox screws located in tha handles of the bootlid, and carefully unclip the plastic tabs of the trim to have a better look.

Check out local scrap yards for a replacement part. If no joy then try vagparts.com or dealers.

yea ill do that tomorrow morning see whats going on with it reckon the boot lock is costly?

Youd probs need a whole new lock mechanism, which means removing a handle which is totally impossible to do without damaging something!!

yea i thought i would but how much would that cost... good thing it still locks because i like my sub ... also while another question about remote central locking anyone enquired on how much it would be to get the flip out key with boot included from VW or anyway else wanna see how much as a rough guideline and cba to go down to a vw dealer

VW keys dont even think about it. Its a totally different CL system to do that - what car have you got?

As for the lock, it has to be made as the barrel has to be made up and they are stamped into the lock mechanism, so it could be over £50

i got a Polo (2000) 6n2 1.4 i just think the flip out key just looks cool lol what do you reckon i go for then mate sorta working on first car thought id start with some basics

one of those remote central locking kits on ebay should do

again are they easily fitted ie have you done it to your own car or anybody elses or are they a pain in the ass

Ye done it to mine and three friends! on yours it easy as you already have central locking dont you?

yea it does... was having a nose at

lol again its a flip out but yea if you know of a better one pm me the link or reply here if you done mind mate cheers

that will do nicely

good good you was saying about the boot handle how something will surely break if i touch it recon its worth getting done specially then..
