with a lot of thumping, i got the door open!!!!

tried to undo the t20 torx to slide the blank lock cover to check the cable from the mechanism to the handle- but i havent the right screw diver - no success

squited wd40 over all parts, & it seams to work. -then it locked up again and wouldnt reopen

after lots of attempts and more thumps,i pushed the mechanism body from the inside, - towards the outside door skin, then on the next attempt to lock, it worked again

do folks think , this could be the short cable is to tight? or i just have a dud mechanism?

29 May, 2016

thanks every one for you patience, i will have to go and try again, giving it a big thump?

when i eventually it open i will check the cable between the handle & mechanism.

does any one know , the seller on e bay wants to know is the coonector plug an 8 pin ?

[ i have also tried to remove the electric plug with no success]

thanks a lot-

may be it me being thick but i think mac 11 irl is meaninghe replaced the door handle to the central locking mechanism?

i have only replaced the internat central locking mechanism & not the part that contect to the door handle itself

pics 20 - 23 seem to show the micro switch [red & blue wires,] i cant get to them? or to the torx screw that releases the outside door mechanism

sorry if i am missing something , i will read through again

28 May, 2016

just taken a look at your pics [ thanks ] but surely if the door is locked closed i cant get to the grommet to un do the torx screw to take off the handle

28 May, 2016

thanks, i didint fit the lock myself,

how do i get to he outer door cable thread,

i have stripped the door card out etc, can you get to this cable while it is locked/

sorry i am probably being thick

28 May, 2016

do you mean the bolts holding in the lock were to tight? [bolts on the door edge?], if so i cant get to them.

28 May, 2016

no not 100%

sorry i dont follow how you fix yours

28 May, 2016

i tried the heater the other day, a reasobale amount of hot air was coming out, not had time try to take a look at the air flow motor,as some kind character stole some stuff from the car this weekend [mp3 player 30 gb & dab radio]- thanks again for your help

jon

29 August, 2013

thanks folks, i will retry things tomorrow & will re post later

27 August, 2013

thank you i have to have a go at the weekend,i am right the motor is visable if i try to take the glove box & cover off

25 August, 2013

I have just tried as mustafa suggested, i can hear & feel a motor whir- [if i feel under the cover],but i could only occasionally hear a clicking sound.

could it be that the motor is working but not moving the vent flaps, as i have had a louder clicking noise for a few weeks , when you start up.

Last night while i was out and it was colder thatn day time, i put the heater up to max, but i only got warm air [ but the engine was hot]

look forward to your comments

24 August, 2013

yes the temperature gets to 90 as quick as usual,

the level, in the header bottle is in between the marks.

is there a seperate fluid level bottle for heater/climate control

24 August, 2013

no i havent got a vagcom- where can you get one/ hire one?

if i press the auto or econ, the fan speed does change

23 August, 2013

please has anybody got any i dea's

I have an 02 octavia eleglance estate- with 115k on the clock. wih climate control, the last few weeks, i have been lots of cold air flow but very little warm or hot air blowing through [ even on a 25 mile run with the temperature turned right up] i even tried setting it at 23c with the out temperature showing 19/20c, it blew warm air for the whole journey,but the car didnt seem to change or reach 23c?

i have read the threads about trying climate control- i pressed the button buttons - there was a beep then on the left came up 4FA, and 00 on the right-[ anyidea's what this means?]

if it is the air vent motor needs replacement, how do you get to it?

any help appreicated.

thanks
