n/'s front door lock

Featured Replies

Had a search and couldn't find anything about the front passenger door not working. The door worked fine till a few days ago. Then it started to play up had to double press to get it to pop open now it won't open at all anyone any ideas how to get it to open?

Keep trying with the fob and the switch on drivers door to unlock it otherwise you have to try and take the door panel off while the door is shut (night mare)! :thumbdown::sweat::swear::wall:

I'd buy a new door lock from dealers about £100 its a common fault.

Cheers

Cheers mate. I thought that was going to just take it to skoda and let them fix it

Sounds stupid but i had this problem the other day. I got a wooden mallet with t-shirt on end for protection as you unlock via key fob at same time hit the door panel (inside) roughly where the exterior handle/lock mechanism is.... it shocked mine open and has worked since

If you end up needing one iv got one in good working order you can have dirt cheap bud

If you can get it open check the wiring that goes threw the rubber tube thing between the door and car. It can break.

Always start with the simple stuff before you go buying new locks

New mk4 golf/Octavia door locks on ebay with good reviews £20 deliverd.

But could just be a broken wire
