Hi fellow skodonians 

 

I'm very new to this forum, although now on my 4th Skoda, ( always a bit late to the party!)

Went to unlock my Mk2 superb estate this morning and the door handle wouldn't work due to frost, quick fiddle and it now opens and closes great, however.... it will not open once the central locking has locked the doors, the other 3 doors work fine.

 

Any ideas guidance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Martin.

It's now all sorted, parked the car in the sun, came in and shouted to my wife that it was time to get rid of this big piece of sh1te, got a price of we buy any car, went back out side and now its working perfectly. The car obviously heard the conversation !

I've found my door handles are a bit prone to freezing up when very cold - also the door rubber can stick somewhat with frost stopping the door from opening. However I have to say I cheat - when I know I've got a very cold early start I put on a windscreen cover and position a small fan heater in the front footwell. Wired back to an outside socket that can be switched on / of from inside the house. Turned on before breakfast car usually nicely defrosted before I set off.  I always tie a duster on the steering wheel to remind me I'm plugged in though!
