- Episode 7 in my series of Volkswagen Polo repairs has me replacing a rear door lock module.
The old module had stopped working so the door wouldnt open from outside or inside.

If you found this video helpfull and it saved you spending a lot of money at a main dealer or garage then I would be really grateful if you could drop me a wee donation using the super thanks button and help me make more of these videos. Thank you all, Dave.
Since in my country Toyota is the major selling car, I and many used to think German cars are best, but after owning VW polo and seeing many complains of people from other brands like bmw and audi I realize the value of toyota and their reliability. Nothing comes close to Japanese cars!
You're a bloody hero. Rear right door had been deadlocked for a year and would have failed it's MOT today. 3 hours and some stress later I'm sorted. MY MAN
theres a lesson here NEVER EVER activate child locks
I have a polo 9n 2.0 but it has electric windows, the rear door was deadlocked for months but one day i punch it while trying to unlock it and opened lol
At least one door is locked -- An owner of similar Polo.
There was no need to damage the door, when you press the control and give 20-30 volts to the electric pins, the lock will open anyway.
Just finished both right and left rear doors , first door took 5 hrs and the second 1 1/2 hrs. The tricky parts for me , removal of the door card - expect to get brutal ! , and removing the window dowels, knowing now I would order new dowels before starting so I could drill out the centre dowel ( these are two expanding dowels ) , the rest was just fiddling
Couple of observations/tips. Where Dave is wrenching off the main fabric door card I managed to get my lever under the edge of the metal inner door piece and bent it - so take care with that. The plugs where the main door card are fixed can be seen at 3.17 - as in the holes where the plastic fixers plug in. I found that some stayed on the door card and some stayed on the inner metal door piece - same happened in the video - you can see one that got left in the door frame at 3.17 near to the seat belt anchor. It is best to replace all of these plastic fixers, and it is easiest to remove them from the metal door piece once you have opened the door. You need some force and a flat item like a table knife to level them off. Second thing I found impossible was disconnecting the electric plug. I could not get my fingers round to the release point when the lock was in place. You don't need to. It can wait until you have unbolted the door unit. I'm still pinching myself that I managed to do this job - I have very limited experience in this sort of thing. Only successful because of the video
My back passenger door not closing and always locking or not sitting right on the hinge woke up massive flood in the the back 😅 car =money
it's bizarre how complicated opening and closing blocking a door can be especially if you are an engineer and loved terrorizing car owners shade trees mechanics like me. Took me hours and hours and hours.
I worked through this with no car experience- and got it done thank you!
Really helpful video. Fixed lock, Thanks for no muisc, no annoying voice over. Love the cheers at
Completed thanks to your video, for anyone needing some dimensions for drilling the hole I hope this helps, 45mm down from the dead centre of the hole with the slot as shown at (4.50). I also found it easier to grind a taper on the two plastic dowels to put the window back in place, I used an 8mm bolt with a nut to exert equal pressure to tap the big dowel in using a centre punch in the middle of the bolt head, and exactly the same with a 5mm bolt for the smaller central dowel, whilst pulling the wire to one side, what a pig of a job, thank you VW.
Wow, thx for this awesome video!!! best tutorial around!
Great video, helped a lot. I found that I didn't need to drill to get access to the screw. Once located, I prized the plate and it snapped off quite easily. Once off the door would open.
Watching your video removed any thought i had about replacing my self the lock, Bless you man!
VW should give you an award. Brilliant. Thank you 🚙🙂
Excellent funny and informative video with no annoying music. Yes, same happened with mine but caught it while its was in intermittent failure mode. This door lock failure is common across all VW's of this age. But the North American market VW's don't have deadlocks, so can be opened from the inside when they fail. VW don't like North American law suits, leaving the rest of the world potentially deadlocked within their cars.🔒😱🔒
Thanks so much for the video. I managed to change the rear left lock on my daughters car following this video. I would have had no clue on my own and garage would have charged a fortune.
