hi all,

in the process of replacing my n/s/r door latch :'( on my mk1 octy..

really struggling with it, any ideas on how you get the handle control cable into the hook on the door latch? looks like a total nightmare :(

it just twist round and slots in, no biggy/

just worked it out- you fit the latch with the cable (attached to the latch) then fit the handle and slot the semi circle cable end into the handle.. phew

That's the way

now to try and work out why the central lockings not working :'(

1) checked fuses ok..

2) try replacing o/s/f c/l unit.. - lets see what happens :wonder:

gutted- os/f central locking unit did not solve it :'(

anybody got any ideas? where is the central locking control unit located ?(its a 2000 1.9tdi )

just scanned it with the diagnostics- not recognising the passenger side module :S

Suspension to get the most out of your extra power

Try cleaning the connectors from the A post to the door. They can get corroded. I think it's a twist off plug type.

I think this is common if you change them. I changed mine and when they scanned the car at the service is came up with a similar message, but mine works. Check for water ingress in all connections and see if there is any damage to the loom by the a post.

Failing that it could be a faulty central convenience unit?

the only bit of life im getting with the system is a click from under the drivers side dash when i press the button to lock all doors.. im starting to thing its the convenience unit :( i reckon another trip to the scrappy :( where is the convenience unit located? what does it look like? will i need to reprogramme it with vag com?

cheers, steve
