  1. ill go with the safe bet of this new lock thanks for the advice
  2. bit of a pig to i believe changing the switch? was thinking of getting a whole new latch etc https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DOOR-LOCK-FRONT-RIGHT-SIDE-FITS-VW-POLO-9N-CADDY-III-SKODA-FABIA-3B1837016CC/192607447431?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
  3. forgot to add that ive got a faulty drivers door switch,door locks when it feels like it,the buzzer goes off if ive left the lights on which is once in a blue moon and doesnt put the interior light on,will this cause the boot to do this also?
  4. hey guys, after searching ive not found the exact info i need really i have an intermittant boot,sometimes itll open or not,im having to open a rear door for it to open,also the boot light sometimes doesnt come on looking into it,it points to the orange lock in the boot lid,ive removed this and cleaned and soaked in wd40,no rust on pins also now do i buy a new 1 or second hand good working 1 for half price and its deffo this part thats at fault? cheers
  5. Plastered on but there's a soggy patch an inch wide,possibly a water bubble
  6. if i remember last time before i self tappers on it i pulled upas much as i could and fired up some silicone before tightening up,ive got the rivets on mine,ill try and get a pic of the mess its made lol
  7. Checked again over the past day or so to see another puddle sat on the rubber Even checking the drainage holes and they seemed to be dryish? Why does the rain keep filling up the carrier and splitting the seal all the time? Anymore suggestions please?
  8. forgot to update the thread went to my local vag garage for some more investigations to find i needed a new lambda sensor and a split in the egr pipe,cars running spot on now
  9. many thanks,came this morning and is 100% better
  10. whipped the door card to find the bottom of the door carrier expanded and split the seal AGAIN brain wave thought id try and drill and stick some self tappers through just above the bottom(the indentation just above) and voila actually pulled the bottom together pretty well,pee'd out loads of water as it was tightening slowly 1 by 1 across the bottom as id put about 7 self tappers in lol,left to dry for about 15 mins then ran another seal just under and around the screws,leaving the door card off for a week or so this time so i can keep an eye on it more,fingers crossed its sorted for the autumn/winter coming
  11. done this on my vrs a few years back,just the once also but with the fabia ive got now its been done 4 times and rained all day yesterday to find a puddle on the rubber and wet door card
  12. hey guys, if i remember on my vrs,you can put an aero wiper or polo wiper rear set up on? anyone got the link for a new set up please on ebay say? thanks
