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.

    at least if it doesn't lock you can still open it.

    When Nats locks started playing up the first thing I did was disable SAFE lock so at least if the actuator wouldn't unlock it you could still manually unlock the door.

      As I was taking my door apart again today, I was wondering what years are people's cars who are having the issue? Given it seems to be a manufacturing defect with the motors, could it be possible they corrected this in later model years?

        Mine is an MY07, also have problems with another Mk5 MY08. It seems to me that it's just a flaw in the design of the locks used throughout the Mk5 production.

          2007 MY08 Golf locks:
          Feb 2015: LH Rear - Genuine replacement $250
          Feb 2015: RH Rear - Genuine replacement $276
          Sep 2016: RH Front - (Sick of paying for locks now) D2P Auto Parts $83
          Jan 2018: LH Front - (couldn't get this one from D2P Auto Parts) Ebay $32

          I was pretty quick at changing them by the last one so i figured I could buy 8 for the price of 1 genuine if the ebay one died.

            Did you get prices on genuine front ones? I recall them being $400+ when I asked about a RHF 2 years ago.

                  Mines 2005.

                  seems to be an issue for all of them.
