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,

  • Help! Mk4 door lock barrel is stuck any ideas to get this out.

    Hi, can anyone help with this.I have what seems to be a common problem with the doors failing to open from inside or out and to try fix this I believe I have to remove the door lock barrel, however the bloody thing Is stuck in fast.
    i have watched all the videos on how it should come out but even when the T20 Torx is fully wound out the lock will not dislocate.
    thanks for any help.

    Pull the outer door handle out a little while jiggling the lock barrel

      To remove the door lock barrel first you have to open your door !

        Thanks for comment but I have tried with the door open and the handle fully wedged open. I can get the lock out about 3mm but that's it.
        I have seen all the videos and even know how to open the door with a coat hanger!
        is there a way to manually release the retainer clip holding the barrel as the torx screw opens up but does not let the barrel come out?

          You may have screwed it out too far try going in a bit.

            I've got a stuck rear door and I've been trying to coat hanger via the exterior handle trick but not having any luck.
            Did you have a different method?
