Hi, My 2009 Golf Plus has started to have a problem with the central locking. It's reliable at locking all doors & boot, but when unlocking, it doesn't always release the front passenger door. No difference whether via remote or central locking switch on driver's door. Usually a few lock/unlock cycles on the driver's central locking switch will get it to release.
When it's locked, pulling the interior door handle clicks past a point of resistance (which would normally unlock it ready for a second pull), but that doesn't work either. Because of this, I suspect it's more likely to be mechanical than electrical. Is there anything anyone can suggest I should try before taking it to the dealer? I'm reasonably handy, but don't know my way around the innards of cars built much past 1990 :D
Is this a fault covered by warranty anyway? The car is 2 1/2 years old.
Ta for any advice!
