Door won't open!!

[Deanso 0]

Hi guys,My passenger door is closed an the pin won't

rise so the lock won't release the handle.This happened

at xmas there, so I bought new handle repairs off dave16v.

I was about to replace them when it started working again

so i didn't bother.

It seems to be the same thing as before.If i turn the key in

the door it tries to go up and i can even hold it 2/3s up if i pull on

it at the same time.Local vag said it's 3wks before they can look

at it!! Has anyone ever had this prob.(girlfriend is wreckin seat!!)

please help

probably an electrical fault with the vacuum release mechanism mate - mine did this intermittantly in the past. Got an auto-sparky to fix it for £20.

Use the search, it has been covered quite a few times before.

Yeh that could well be it mate.You don't know what he did

do you? What i mean is, did he replace anything or just

repair it?

He just removed the door card - which can be a nightmare if you can't open the door - so try a few times to open it - mine worked occasionally. I remember him looking at the black hose part - in the door hinge and I think he just used WD40 to lubricate the mechanism. As VR6 says though - I'm sure you can find more info on the search.

Hope that vague account helps!

Update. Just incase it happens to you,I sprayed

wd40 using the straw between the door and the

rear quarter panel all over the lock(completely

drenched it)left it for a few minutes a it opened

haha... wd40 is great! Cheers for help
