Rear passenger doors on vw polo 2003 not working. cant open doors

The rear door lock actuator has failed in the door locking unit this is a common problem you can manually unlock the door to replace the latch if you didn't have the deadlocking on if you cant try pressing the locking button twice so when the car is locked the flashing red light is not blinking ie off on the drivers. Doing this usually causes the faulty lock to release the dead locking so you can pull the inside handle to unlock the door.

1. Replace battery in remote
2. Replace sensor at rhf door lock (it is inside of door)

The air powered centrol locking is a pain, not the least because of the high cost of a replacement circuit board.

I can't quite remember how I overcame the problem. I think I applied either pressure or suction to the air pipe to unlock everything and then once everything was unlocked I was able to manually lock and unlock each door and in this case the boot lid. The fuel flap was left unlocked without problems.

This worked for me on 2008 Mk5 Golf, after the rear passenger door would not open fro outside or inside.

Hold the inside door latch open and keep it extended, then with the key fob open and close the door locks (still holding the inside latch open). Keep locking and unlocking the door, then it made a kluck and it released.

(door lock actuator)all doors have one in them, they weeken, and sometimes work to open, and some times to lock, or not at all. only fix is to replace each of them as they go out, usually cost abt 20 to 40 bucks a piece

my front windows wont go down but the back ones do on my p reg vw golf can anybody help

i would check the door lock actuators and also make sure you have a good battery. have your battery tested vw have a lot of electrical issues due to battery problems.

hi my central locking on my vw transporter van has stopped working and my key fob is fine i cannot open my passenger door so therefore cant put petrol in. what do you think the problem is?

does it work in the passenger door

If this is a late model polo[2000 upwards].The lock is probably in "safe" mode.Try pressing your remote[lock and unlock] alternatly,while trying to open the door
