I am trying to remove the door barrel for 2014 Fabia mk2 , All the videos I’ve found are for a mk1

 

my problem is the door lock rotates left and right with the key but doesn’t unlock the door.

 

i am a bit wary as the guides state to only rotate the 2 screws by 3 revolutions.

I rotated the one top right by 3 full turns.

the one top left by about 4 or 5 full turns.

 

the barrel will not budge, even with door handle pulled out

 

the bottom hole does not have access to a screw.

 

any help appreciated.

I finally found an answer, this is the facelift model, the top left screw needs to be removed, the top right screw needs to be loosened by a few turns (not removed) , with the key in the lock and turned 90 degrees and the door handle partially open, the barrel should then come out.

 

I will have to wait until my daughter returns from uni with the car to try it.

 

hopefully the pin coming out of the barrel needs replace, otherwise the full door lock needs to be removed.

Thanks for sharing this info. I look forward to hearing of more success soon.  🙂

Anyone know where I can get a replacement barrel? Or how to replace the pin that unlocks the door as it’s snapped off

 

Part is labelled 167/168H 

Have a look through these listings to see if any seem compatible skoda door lock barrel repair kit: Search Result | eBay

The barrel looks a sealed unit, unlike the the earlier model.

 

I’ve bought this off eBay as it matches the broken one I have, downside is no key, so I will need to break it down to get the pin?

 

or does the cylinder inside come out some how? Is there a release anywhere?

 

 

Dunno how it comes apart.

Hopefully by experiment on that one you can discover how to do it non-destructively and then do yours.

Yep, that’s my tactic

Photos may be useful for others if you can take a few as you go. 🙂

If I work it out I will explain it.

 

does anybody know if the key housing cylinder can be removed, there is a small hole on the side but can’t see a clip or spring to indicate it can be removed.

 

I’ve seen plenty of strip downs for the MK1 but nothing for the MK2.

Looks to me like this flap of metal must bend upwards off the 'pip' of the other half that's in that hole, and probably a symmetrically opposite one on the other side, then the whole thing falls apart??

 

 

I recon that once that fancy outer case is off it's the same basic lock unit that has been used on most VAG models since 1994 and can be repaired using the same kits on eBay ??

I’ve bought the one I’ve put pictures of , it’s got no key so will need to dismantle it to get the post out.

or if possible the key barrel swap over if it can be removed without cracking the case.

The lugs will not flex to release the pin.

there are 4 very small pins holding the barrel together, they are steel and the casing is softer material, I tried pry the lug over the pin, and it eventually snapped off.

 

I eventually drilled into the softer casing next to the pin, then prised the case open, once opened the pins can be removed with pliers.

I have only opened the part I bought which has no key, I’ve not done my barrel yet, but seems if there isn’t a way of removing the pins I will have to drill, again I will have to wait till my daughter returns from uni

Anyone know how to remove the pins?

Hmm, I'm not seeing an easy win there.

No, parts are really hard to come by, I found just the 1 cylinder barrel on eBay which I bought without a key.

 

I’ve googled and searched everywhere, even aliexpress.

I tried superglue and solder to try and attach to the pin, which didn’t work, drilling next to them was my only option.
