door locking problems
Posted: Wed Sep 14, 2011 10:26 am
It has been a while since I had my polo, but my sister has a 2000 'W' 1.4 6n2, and is having trouble with the door locks.
When she got the car it only had one key, without buttons, so no remote locking.
The passenger door does not unlock when you use the key in the driver's door, and I don't think it has ever unlocked the passenger door from the outside either... but the door pin unlocks it.
Driver's door lock became very stiff, and now won't unlock the car at all, so she has been reaching through from the boot to pull the button up
my first question is - did VW sell these polos without central locking? Or is it likely that the locking mech in the passenger door could have been disconnected from the central locking in some way?
I'm not around to have a look at the car myself at the moment, but after someone having a look at the door internals and trying the fixing kit, now she can't lock the car.
so the second question is: does anyone know where I can get a set of red handles, barrels and all the gubbins so that we can change both door handles and have a matching key? I've been looking on ebay already.
Hope the above makes sense!
Cheers
