Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Another Darwin Amarok owner

    Hows it going, Ive got a 2011 4WD Amarok, has it since new, around 100,000km, recently noticed a noise. Identified that its the four door locking mechanisms engaging. As this usually occurs when you get in the car and pull away, at 10km. Though now when I am pulling up at intersections or roundabouts then pulling away the mechanisms are constantly activating. There must be something central to the locking units, giving or activating the signal. Anyone able to shed any light on it for me?

    One of your door locks is not working - that is not locking the door.
    lock the car from outside and check which door is not locking and get a replacement fro wreckers.

    I have a 2013 and have replaced two door lock mechanisms.

    Cheers

      Agree with Phill

      I have replaced left rear door lock already (when the Amarok was 4 yrs old). Exactly the same symptoms
