Hi I own a leon sport tdi pd 140 bkd.
Asking this question for a friend.

He has a 58 plate altea same engine and is having problems with rear passenger door.

I've had the problem with the door locks sticking on mine and have drilled the hole in the mechanism and sprayed wd 40 In on 3 of my door locks worked perfectly.

The problem he has is that the child lock was activated and it seems like the mechanism has failed as drilling the mechanism an spraying wd 40 in doesn't work. But it can't be worked in as door will not open from outside due to mechanism being seized and door won't open from inside as child lock is activated has anyone had this problem?
Any help would be appreciated as This is the only reason he has given up on the car he has 2 children in the back and has to put them both in from the drivers side rear which is far from ideal on the school run.

Thanks in advance Joel
 
Welcome on board might be worth asking on the MK1 leon Forum as those motors suffer a lot with door locks playing silly bugger.

You could try the MK2 Leon section but that is not as active as the MK1.

Hope you find an answer.
