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,

  • D/S interior door lock mechanism

    Wondering if anyone has some advice on fixing the door card for the drivers side interior door lock (2006 T5 Multivan), or has a recommendation for replacing the part. My door lock handle is intact but the bit of plastic the cable attaches to before the door lock has broken away, anyone had any joy fixing it v replacing it?

    Mine broke & I temporarily fixed it using a type of adhesive recommended somewhere. Since then, while my gearbox was being rebuilt, the shop got sodded off having to undo the door from outside & managed a repair with, they say, a cable tie. Your guess how & where they looped it is as good as mine.

      can"t you pop rivet some tin or alum plate to both pieces to fix back in position. That's what i'd do.
      I don't think a glue by itself would be strong enough.

        Think I might try and glue as well as cable tie
