Passat Door Locking problem

[mpgscott 0]

Hi All,

First post and not sure if this is the correct location for the post but here goes.

Just bought a 1994 passat VR6 well impressed so far, have a problem that the car will not lock from the drivers door. The barrel turns but does not open the doors. Works ok from the passenger side, so what could be the problem?

Also car only has two normal keys i imagine one has gone missing through the years does anyone know if it is possible to get another remote key made?

Thanks

doesnt open the drivers door?? or just the central locking?? if it doesnt open the drivers door from the drivers side lock , theres a little arm/pin on the other side of the barrel that goes . take the handle off and have a gander ( torque bit{i think} is near the latch when you open the door , take that off and the handle slides out)

hope this helps , let us know what you see

No its just the central locking.

From the drivers door i can lock / unlock all the doors apart from the passenger front door?

From the passenger door i can lock unlock all the doors, but if i lock from the passenger door and try to open with the key on the drivers door nothing happens its very strange???

Also if you try to open and close the windows with either of the front locks strange things happen like the driver window operates but none of the rest whilst all windows work ok from buttons any ideas???

Many thanks for any thoughts

Problem solved,

Was the wee bar from the pump in the door to the lock it had come off! Tricky bugger but got it in the end.

New problem

Rear drivers side leccy window is very slow. Is this the motor or is it lack of use what is common on these. If there is a fix please let me know.

Thanks

good to hear you've sorted the central locking .

try some lube down the channels of the window , that should help .
