Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. First problem has arisen with my passat since i bought her. The left hand rear door decided to stay locked (with dead locks) and wouldn't unlock at all. Had to strip door down from inside which was a fabulous learning curve!!!!! Manged to unlock the little darling and removed the central locking motor. Found out that when deadlocks came on, a microswitch inside the unit didn't want to come and play. Currently looking around for another unit. Tried to lube up the forementioned culprit but no joy. Any one else come across the same problem or am i just a one off? Still smiling!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D

Sad to say the problem is a bit common.. I have had one of mine replaced in my 2002 estate.. They just replaced the complete lock.. Not a cheap item..
