Hi

New to site.

owner of a 2003 octavia.My first Skoda after five Opels.

driver's door will not open from inside or outside anymore.Inner door panel

does not appear to be removable with door shut.

local skoda dealer wants 90 euro to DIAGNOSE problem.i know what the problem is.

skoda ireland aren't interested at all.tried to get them to repair as a goodwill seeing as it is such an unusual and potentially dangerous problem.

tried customer care in skoda head office in czech republic.they're not interested either.

Does anyone know if there is a solution to my problem,please.

Many Thanks,conor

Welcome

Hello & welcome

I'd post in the Octavia section as you will get more replies

welcome along to the briskoda website.

Use the key in the door (obvious I know - but I missed it for a while) - this will open the door (if it is the drivers one!). Watch out that your windows don't all wind down together when vehicle is locked and car unlock itself.

If this works - then search for "door regulator" - or "central locking" probs in here. Have just done mine (£180 for part - 1 hr to take door apart - 1 hr to refit). (come back if you need details)

Good luck
