Hi All,

New to site, have posted in newbie section.

I picked up my 08 1.4 mk5 on Saturday,only just getting round to checking everything with a fine tooth comb (only so much you can check when viewing a car!).

I have come across an issue to do with the central locking. Using the remote fob to unlock the doors,all doors unlock apart from the n/s rear passenger (You have to pull lever inside to open the door,however the door locks when using the fob.

I have tried a few things reading the manual to see if I am missing anything,have googled the issue (I think there are threads relating to this!).

Just wanted to ask if anyone has or has had the issue, could there be a problem with lock?, does lock system need re-setting somehow?. I have tried a couple of things as stated but would welcome any additional pointers.

Thanks

Jason

Welcome to the club!!!!

I had all 4 door locks not working at different times. 2 were already replaced and are working fine now and the other two I will have do replace them soon.

The door lock has two mechanisms that work separately, one to lock the door from inside and another to lock outside, usually one of them stops working while the other still works.

You need to replace the door lock.

From what I know all cars untill somewhere around 08/2008 have problems with the door locks!


And also I will sound like a lunatic but they have padron to stop working, at least to me, two other cars I know, and to you at least untill now:

1st - rear passenger side
2nd - drivers door
3rh - rear passenger side
4th - passenger door.
