Thanks for the instructional video for taking the lock apart, though I had to slow the speed as my lock was for the opposite side. As it turned out we suspected a worn micro switch though on testing the switch was fine the button didn’t seem excessively worn but built it up with some beer can aluminium and super glue just in case and used a belt hole punch to create a nice small round dome for it. After checking the circuit board all connections look ok tested for continuity all ok. Connected a 9v battery to the motor worked but not when in the car and struggled without any loading so blasted switch cleaner in any apertures and wd 40 on the shaft and ran the motor back and forth until it worked instantaneously both directions. Re-Assembling the lock proved a challenge but eventually tried the key fob lock and unlock and voila Success! I now know this lock inside out so to all out there if no sign of damage elsewhere the motor can get a bit dry and stiff due to lack of use (lack of front passenger means you only need to unlock drivers door). ‘‘This was all on a 2004 Skoda fabia vrs luckily VW share a lot of parts from their group. One tip though be careful and patient with the M and torx screws as using the wrong heads will strip the insides, we experienced this and used a left hand extractor screw which amazingly worked. Keep up the videos they are well filmed I’m sure some people never look at the start of theirs as sometimes all you see are hands or blurred subjects but yours are videos very well. Reminds me of a tip I was once given, I had a non functioning boot lid lock on a Passat, told to open boot lid spray wd40 and leave to trickle in push key in and manually lock/unlock several times, the keyless lock should now work, again this is down to using the keyless option all the time and the lock becoming dry. Wonder what is in-store for us next.

Thank you Sorin for this super video ! Excellent instruction, very clear in every detail an it works as described.

Such a good tutorial, this guy knows his stuff! Thanks again.

perfect job, greetings from Turkey

Appreciate the video helped me a lot done this myself and saved me money as i didnt have to get a garage to do it. Good work

also you can use some hot glue for that part of connection, to eliminate mechanical vibrations

Helped a lot thanks man :)

super video!

Excellent....................Thanks

I don't have electrical problem because all the other doors lock, except the ones I'm actually locking with the key, but also I constantly had the opposite problem as well, when only the driver's door did lock mechanically, unless I slammed the door few times, so there might be loose solder joints as well

Excelent explicat Sorin! Am aceasta problema la Skoda mea Fabia, 1,4 benzina, fabricata 2004 si sper sa o rezolv cu ajutorul tutorialului tau. Multumesc.

thx for the video i replaced m y doorlock with a new one but now when I unlock with remote i cant open the door from the outside. When I use the key to unlock the door I can open it.. I don't understand.

Hey i got this problem in both front doors of the car i did what you did in this video but it did not solve the problem .. you have maybe another idea what zeb might be? seat leon 2002 1m1 Thank you

Do you know where is the airbag sensor on the driver's door? thanks

I have checked this out and my metal pins are fine. Any ideas? I am sure that is a lock problem but cant fnd the reason

Hi Sorin did you know why the light in drivers door not go on when I open the door I think Is relate with the Lock...

Great video. I have a 2012 Passat. Some times it works and other time my door won't unlock to the touch. Or lock. Do you think that solder joint is barley touching. Thanks for your help

hi. with a 2012 car I don't think it's the same problem. most likely it's an on board error, or an imperfect contact in wires, like the connector or lead wires coming from the car pylon into the door. you should scan for errors with VCDS, before doing anything else.

Hi , Best regards from Bulgaria - first wanna to congratulate you for that videos is very helpful. I have that problem and will be very thankful if you help me - the central.lock is work , but only when lock and unlock with the key, when try to lock and unlock with the original remote control (buttons on the key) they are not work, when try to set it with obd II - it give's me the 01179 error. Can you help me. And is it that problem that you show in this video. Only the driver door light lamp work .

Excellent video, don’t know how much difference between your and my seat Leon MK1 1 Cupra but still, going to try and fix mine as it locks but won’t unlock on the key remote, works fine using the key in the door so do you think it could be this ?, or maybe the micro switch with red and blue wires ?, thanks, Ferry.

hi. the micro switch with blue/red wires rarely brakes down. usually the problem is at the cold joints on the circuit board. I had this problem on both front doors. but in your case I don't know if it's the same problem. can you lock/unlock the doors from inside the car, using the button on the door? does the central locking work fine if you use the key in the door, or if you use the button inside the car? if every thing works fine, except the remote key, the problem can be at the remote/receiver circuit. if you have the other symptoms presented in my clip, the problem can be in the door lock module.

Hi, i want to share my problem with my right door (passenger side), so... when i press the button for locking i hear that the mechanism is making its move, but when i pull the door handle from the outside the door is opening, is there something like a sensor, that knows when the door is locked and doesnt allow you to open the door from outside ?

Hi, I've just bought a Toledo II (1M) The LED in the door panel not (not always) lights up when the driver's door opened. It is 1.6 petrol and the pump does not (not always) start when I open the door but I have no warning light (from an opened door or something) when I drive it. Strange because we put the car to VCDS and seems the status of the passenger's door not changing when we open or close it but the driver's door seems okay. (?!) Today I locked the door with the central lock, tried to open the driver's door and I could open it (the car alarm activated) What can be the problem? Microswitch? Locking mechanism? In driver's door? In passenger's door? Thank You very much for Your reply in Advance.

hi. you can try to remove the back door, so you can unscrew the side torx screw in the front door. then you can remove the outside handle of the door lock. now you have access to the small wire that unlocks the door. if the wire is too stretched, the door lock remains jammed in the locked position.

hi. I haven't seen this problem before. if the driver's door doesn't unlock, even if you push the unlock button inside the car, I think there is a problem with the motor inside the door lock. it may be broken, or the motor pins are not connected well to the board.

probably there is a problem with one of the door lock modules. try to lock the doors with one door open at a time. wait a few minutes after locking them. if the fuse doesn't blow with one of the doors opened, that door is the problem.

Great video. What a botch job these VW based cars were of that era. I have a 2003 Seat Toledo and the central locking system has a mind of its own. One back door doesnt work at all and cannot be opened and neither does window. The others never really open properly, and are always clicking somewhere. I wonder can the whole central locking system be disconnected completely so we just use a reliable key to open the doors! Anyone? Thnx

Did he sure circuit of that lock was done well?

Am un zgomot la bord si ma seaca. Masca de plastic care acopera bordul (ceasurile) face un zgomot la drumuri denivelate, se aude un "crackling sound" ca si cum se freaca plastic de plastic. Daca apas in partea din stanga jos volanului (adica in dreapta de blocul de lumini) nu mai face zgomot, pt ca jumatatea de jos a bordului tine fixa jumatatea de sus. Ai desfacut pe-acolo cumva? are suruburi? poate-mi lipseste unul dar nu prea-mi vine sa desfac juma' de bord ca sa aflu :)

salut. trebuie sa verifici arcul daca mai e bun si e prins bine. apoi sa verifici daca ramane blocata doar de la rugina, sau s-a indoit ceva pe acolo. daca este doar rugina, trebuie sa o cureti cu un spray de rugina si o periuta. la final e indicat sa nu o ungi cu vaselina, pentru ca atrage praf. in timp vaselina + praf creaza o pasta care ingreuneaza miscarea componentelor. eventual dupa ce cureti bine totul, poti sa dai cu putin spray wd40.

trebuie sa verifici exact ce tine. ori sunt prea stranse tijele alea intre ele si nu aluneca. ori s-a indoit una din tije si ramane intepenita. ori s-a intamplat ceva cu arcul si nu mai are putere sa traga. daca s-a slabit arcul, poti sa incerci sa indoi putin bratele arcului spre exterior, astfel incat sa stea putin mai strans.
