Hi,
I have a 2008 1P1 Leon. The front passenger door stopped opening from the outside a few years ago, so I did the drill + WD40 trick and it worked fine for a while.
Recently I heard a grinding noise from the door whenever the auto-locking clicked on after moving. After a few days it broke and no longer does anything.
The door is now not locking at all using either the remote locking on the key, the interior lock button, or the anti-hijack locking.
It can still be opened from the inside with no issues. If I press the key to lock it, the indicators don't flash, which I assume means it thinks one of the doors isn't locked. After pressing lock on the key, the front passenger door can be opened as if it was never locked. The other doors are fine.
Does anyone have any advice on what part actually needs to be changed? Is it the lock actuator, or the exterior handle?
I found this part number: 1P2837015 but I'm not sure if this is the part I need. I don't want to order and fit the part to find out it didn't fix the issue.
I tried taking off the door card and respraying the WD40 into the lock housing but it didn't work, it seems to be completely dead.
Also are there any guides on how to do this work?
Will the lock not working drain the battery? The red indicator light on the door stays on when it should go out.
Thanks
