Hi I was just wondering if anyone else has or is experiencing this issue. When locking my car it locks only to unlock the passenger door only in seconds. To look at the car you think it is locked as the wing mirrors are folded in, but if I try the passenger door it opens, sometimes it sets the alarm off and other times it doesn't. My car is a 3018 and has just bt 25 days gone out of warranty, but before I contact Skoda I need to know if the is an issue on the vehicle or the VW range as I have been told.

My car is a 2018 and has just by 15 days gone out of warranty, but before I contact Skoda I need to know if the is an issue on the vehicle or the VW range as I have been told. 

 

I have just tried to lock my car using the manual lock and key only to find that the lock if fixed solid, it might be worth just trying yours just incase of emergencies. 

I noticed that, until I realised I had put the key in the lock the wrong way around .... the keyfob buttons need to be facing the ground not the sky.

Once I pulled the key out and turned it over the lock / unlock action was smooth with little/no resistance.

Hope this helps?

 

Might also be worth looking at the "Funny door action" thread in this forum.

UPDATE:-

The car has been Marshall Skoda Northampton and they have said the door lock is faulty. They have spoken with Skoda and they have said they will pay 70% as a goodwill gesture and it will cost us about £69. But the interesting thing is they said that Skoda do not have any locks in their warehouse, and I will have to wait for stock to arrive and they don't know when that will be. Luckily I can use my daughters cars as my insurance would be invalid if the car was stolen whilst I was out, with it not being secured properly.

Would Skoda pay for a new vehicle? As there is obviously an issue with the locks.
