Have to open my door handle twice?

(1/3) > >>

martinbickley:
Just picked up my 2004 Golf GT TDi and so far very happy with it.

One thing that confuses me though is that when I press the button on the remote to unlock the door I have to pull on the handle twice before it opens.

Is this a design thing or is there a problem with the door?

It happens everytime and always opens on the second pull.

Thanks

Eddie-NL:
The standard set up is one press opens the drivers door and two press for all doors

The coding can be changed so all doors open on one press

martinbickley:
Sorry its not the remote that doesn't work properly its the actual door handle.

I press the button on the remote then pull the door handle and the first time it doesn't work then the second time I pull the handle the door opens.

mb:
Had this when I bought my car but on the passenger door. Turned out to be the lock mechanism getting stuck which freed after letting go of the handle on the first attempt. I could get my door to open first go my tapping/thumping the door handle before attempting to open it

Andy:
my n/s/f used to do the same,i put a lot of wd40 onto the lock and that sorted it
