The old Passenger Door Unlock fail

<< < (2/3) > >>

@DJM they are mentioned on other posts about this fault as being around £80. I've no idea personally as warranty covered the lot. If you search for door lock fault you'll find the threads. £200 odd for labour also is mentioned more than once.

Of course you could just ring a dealer on Monday morning & ask :signLOL:

I was only wondering if you knew off top of your head as seem to be the most recent case that has posted about it.

Car is booked in for thursday for some other things, just wanted to gauge interest as i dont have warranty so may be wiser for me to go independant garage.

LouCyffer:
I'd certainly consider it, mate. It's a big labour bill, and if you can get an Indy to fit & code, all well.

Sorry, sarcasm not intended on my last post :innocent:

Found a VW breakers by me that will supply part for £30. So positive start.

You'd think VW would dig into their pockets as seems so common.  :sad1:

Cheers for info. And no worries, didnt know how you meant the post lol.

I have what I think is the same problem - drivers door won't unlock / lock with the remote anymore and needs a new latch mechanism.  Stealers quotes about £250 all in to fix but when I get the time I'm going to have a go myself.  I don't actually think its all that difficult - you just need to remove the outer door skin to access it.  I've been informed by a vw tech that you don't have to take the inner door card off and if you set it right you don't even need the special tool (although I've already got it).

Whenever I get round to it I'll do a how to.  (assuming of course I don't knacker my door!  :signLOL:)
