Mk 3 golf central locking failed
:mad: Hello everyone, pls can ayone help me, i bought a P reg Mk 3 golf diesel TDI estate (i believe that its not turbo but that another issue!) from a garage about 1 month back. Shes been great until last nite when i tried to unlock the door. The key rotates the same amount as before but without resistance and does not actuate . I had to climb through the back door (luckily i had room!) the buttons all work from inside. But i cant lock or unlock it from outside. Any suggestions. there has been a fault with the passenger lock since ive had the car the barrel just spins but as the driver lock locked the rest it was ok. Thanks :confused:

Hi all,
Sorry to drag up the an old thread but this has just happened to the missus' mk3 golf GL. I've had the door card off and I think I can see what is described here which is that the bit of metal that connects the barrel to the mech has sheared. Access is VERY tight, how do I get better access to replace/repair the part? Is there a guide somewhere? Sounds common :(
Thanks!
Adam

Hello Monty77, No need to be sorry to bring up an old thread, if i can help there is no problem. I found on my golf that when i took the lock out of the door, the "padle" came out with the lock. To re-fit the lock it was possible to insert the lock back into the mechanism and then line this up with the barel.
Hope this helps, if not please feel free to reply to this and i will have another go at explaining it.
Cheers,
Mark.:biglaugh:
