Broken door barrel - how to fix?

Featured Replies

Hi all,

A friend of mine owns a Fabia 1.4, no central locking. He was trying to get int he car the other day and now the drivers door locking barrel just spins, so by the looks the barrel is broken?

I own an Octy, so I don't know much about the Fabia. So how do I go about fixing this?

same mechanism as an Octy IIRC. If you have a Haynes for your Octy, I'd follow that.

Not much help I know, but I remember this happening on mine...

Can't remember how I fixed it now but you only need basic tools to remove the barrel so further inspection shouldn't be hard.

That does look like the correct repair kit.

Its usually just the pin that breaks apart
