Title: Door gremelin (controller?)
Post by: Tfsi_Mike on January 30, 2015, 11:12:00 pm

I have an issue where my drivers door fails to lock when reaching the preset speed.

If I press the unlock button in the centre console & then reach that speed again (15mph?) the door then locks.

It makes a noise the 1st time but if I lower my window and try and open the door from the outside it still opens

I haven't got Vcds handy atm.  Is it a common issue/ fault?

Thanks for any advice.

Mike

Thansk @Orc (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=9637). Are there many variants? So I can start shopping around. @Eddie-NL (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2345) @mortygttdi (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=203)

Thanks again.

Make sure you buy correct side as both sides have different part number.

About year ago i replaced N/S and now looks like other side is failing ...

Was it just a case of noting the coding in the existing one and copying it into the replacement one?

Saw they are sided, cheers
