Who has Passat rear handles on their 93 VR6?

Recommended Posts

I had the same problems when I fitted Passat mechs and handles to my doors.

 

Managed to get everything fitted, then couldn't open the door from outside :(

 

The little striker on the handle didn't push the lever on the mechanism down far enough to disengage the lock.

 

There are two points that can be adjusted to rectify this.

 

1/ The striking pin on the handle has a little plastic cap on it.

This is threaded and can be turned to make the pin longer/shorter.

2/ On the lock mechanism itself, there is an a small bolt, 5.5 mm I think.

This can be loosened and adjusted to alter the travel required to disengage the lock on the lever the striking pin hits.

 

After a lot of fiddling about, I managed to get both these adjusted correctly to open the door from outside.

 

Then I accidently engaged the childlock on the new mechanism and locked myself in the car.

 

Top Tip: Remove the Child Lock Pin :D :D
