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,

  • VW Jetta front driver door not locking

    Just recently noticed the front drivers door does not lock to the central locking only all the other doors. It can only be locked and opened manually with the key. Has anyone else sxperienced this and know how much it might cost to fix?

    Check the wires where they come through from door to body -- you may be able to fix it yourself.

      The door still responds to the remote as you can hear a clicking sound like its trying to lock but doesn't actually lock or unlock. So i'm guessing it has something to do with the actual latch part?

        Just an update. Took it to the local mechanic who pulled apart the door and found the front lock actuator to be faulty, quoted me $400 for the part and $200+ labor so I said no thanks only ended up paying $99 to check it. I ended up finding the correct part online for $80 and will install it myself with the help of youtube videos.. this problem seems more common than expected. Hope I don't end up breaking something
