REPLACE THE DOOR LOCK!!IF U NEED MORE INFO LET ME KNOW!!

Hi. banging and activating the remote and pulling the handle over and over again and again helps. we open most doors this way. sometimes take 10 to 15 minutes of trying.

unlock with key and hold key over for 30 secs(windows may go down)then lock with key and hold over for 30 secs(windows may go up)then press remote unlock button and hold for 30 secs,you have just reset system...the closer you have to get to the car for the remote to work the lower the battery power.sensor on top of dash(little black dimple)rarely,if at all, goes wrong.....

Switch ignition ON. Insert key to be programmed into driver's door lock. Lock vehicle manually. Press lock or unlock button. Wait at least 1 second. Press lock or unlock button again. Vehicle horn sounds to indicate correct programming. Keys can also be programmed using diagnostic equipment.

Maybe fuse number 6 is blown (check lefthand side of steerning wheel where all teh fuses are located - you must open the door)

could be a faulty door lock.have the fault codes read with a diagnostic machine.

Those components are probably part of a new lock assembly. Maybe locate a used lock to take those pieces from.

try changing the drivers door lock

if you unlock the doors via key in drivers door do all the doors unlock . if they do you may have a siezed locking unit

i also have a MK5 golf tdi with cental locking problem the drivers door wont open from the fob but all the other doors will, i taken the car to a garage last week when it was pluged in to the computer it showed errors they cleared them it sem't to solve the problem now its started again ?
