VW MK4 Golf central locking problem
I've found the guide that I lost a while ago. The author explains the repair of the same central locking mechanism found inside my VW MKIV Golf. I'll try it tonight hopefully...
Passat - Door lock mechanism repair As far as I know they share the same locking mechanism.
Another guide that also refers to the taligentx guide above also indicates that the common cause it a broken solder joint. That explains why the problem is intermittent. Have a look at vwvortex guide for more info.
If it's just a dead microswitch then vwsandman says a $3 fix is all one needs. I quote, "Ok, we can fix this door switch for $3 USD! You need to go to Radio Shack and purchase Part number #275-016A. This is a Submini Lever Switch." We don't have radio shack here is South-Africa, but I'm sure we have microswitches somewhere ;-). Hopefully I'll have it all done by tomorrow.
Oh, and btw, I think the driver side unit also died this morning. We'll see. This morning it exhibited exactly the symptoms as the passenger side door. I'd hate to have to replace both as the best price will still damage my pocket significantly. In fact, I'll get rid of the car if I have to fork out anything close to R 1000 to completely repair the problem. I've had enough.

My drivers door lock died on me this morning. Last week it was a seized wiper rod. What next. Any suggestions?.
Hi Alfred
It depends on what the extent of the failure is. If it is a question of the lock not responding at all then your problems may be more serious than mine.
What are your exact symtoms? Does it unlock and lock with the remote? Is the problem intermittend or consitent?
As for the wiper rod, I have no idea. Mine's still fully functional. If the wipers fails to operate it is likely a fuse. The mechanics and electronics for the wipers are very robust.

In the grand design of things you get an A with regard to
effort. Exactly
where you actually lost us ended up being in the details.
As it is said, details make or break the argument.
. And that couldn't be
more true right here. Having said that, allow me tell you just what
did do the job. The text
is definitely quite
convincing and that is probably why
I am making the effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of
doing that. Secondly, even though I can see the jumps in reasoning you make, I am not
necessarily sure of how you seem to
unite the ideas which inturn help to make
the final result. For the moment I will subscribe to your position but wish in the foreseeable future
you actually link the facts much better.
