Recently got a Freetrack, which is generally very good (and was half the price of a similar spec Skoda Yeti!), although I have a couple of niggles with it.
The biggest issue is that the driver's door doesn't unlock on the remote - everything else unlocks, except the driver's door. If I unlock the car with the key only, then the alarm goes off..... so I have to unlock the car with the fob, THEN open the driver's door with the key.
Here's the driver's door fault codes, from VCDS
Am I likely to be able to pull out the lock and sort the issue, or is it time for a new locking mech? Where's best to buy them from?
Interested to know how common the failure is on the heated door mirrors, too. Are there any common wiring faults to the heated mirrors, or do the glass elements fail? Both mirrors have failed, according to VCDS.
Next up, when flinging it about I can hear *things* moving around in the dashboard - presumably parking tickets which have got amongst the dashboard. How can I get this out from among the dashboard?!
Finally there is a fairly unpleasant rattle from under the passenger footwell at low revs, under load. Any suggestions for the likely cuplrit would be ace.
Thanks for your assistance!
