Locks stopped working on both doors

[crackers 0]

Hi,

This is weird (or maybe not) but over the last few days it's been harder to turn the key in either door to trigger the central locking/unlocking.

Yesterday my key went round and theat lock stopped working, it wouldn't trigger the C/L or even pop the lock on the door itself.

This morning the otherside went!!

My boot lock never responded to the key - now I'm locked out!

I'll get in, but any of this sound like a common VW fault?

thanks in advance

does the key spin inside the barrel, seems like the whole lot isn't connected to anything.

mines done it on drivers door, when you take the door card out and the lock out, there's a tiny little hook, which a think maybe prone to snapping causing it to spin.

depending how good you are with wiring, i bought one of these, which was cheaper than a new lock.

took about 3 hours to wire in, but well worth it as now it's all remote. Comes with blank keys that you need to get cut, and you will need 2 transponders made up if you want to use them in the ignition, but i use standard key.
