Brother you're a legend. Most helpful channel to me I've found lol. I have a Mk4 golf that my brother left behind unfinished when he died...your vids are helping me finish it and get it on the road. Just wanted to let ya know my friend.
Thanks bro, You’re a legend for getting your late brothers car sorted and back on the road. Wish you all the best, if you get stuck with anything give me a shout. 👍🏼
Hi Bro hope you keeping well. Ive just mentioned you in my latest video today and hope your project is going well. th-cam.com/video/hlajSpPVR2A/w-d-xo.html
Hi 👋, well done mate 👍. I've done this job 3 times on front doors (twice for the driver side and once for the passenger side). Based on the low price of your module, pay attention to the chinese modules, my experience tells they are not reliable. That's why I had to do it twice on the driver side, because 6 monts later the new chinese one didn't work. It is also the most used door.
Luckily, each time I managed to open the door softly by unlocking/locking and giving ferm taps on the door under the handle.
I observe some slight differences with the rear doors but it is almost the same. The white plastic piece does not exist in the front doors.
Definitely a great video to help those having the door really stuck. Thanks a lot for the tip 👍
Thanks A H, it’s definitely a silly fault on these cars and I hope it lasts on mine lol. I think I may have to do the others tho at some point if I keep the car. Have a good weekend bro.
@@Mk4heavenHD Have a nice weekend too ✌️
Good to see you posting again mate!
These modules are a pain when they go wrong 😂
For sure mate they not a quick fix and end up being a half days work lol.
thanks bro, following this post I fixed my Bora today, after almost 1 year 😀 had the same problem.
You welcome bro, glad it’s now sorted.
You are a legend man. Thanks again.
Thanks bro.
simply the best
Fuck yes. Absolute legend
lol
Oh shit, ace video mate, I’ve been meaning to replace mine for about 2 years now, looks like a nightmare job 🤦♂️
Thanks mate, yeah I was the same and got fed up lol.. Yeah its a bit of a fiddle but isn't too bad.
Thanks man !
I just did this operation and replaced my actuator with a new one . Everthing works fine but I notied a little problem today. If I double lock my car with the controler and deactivate the alarm of the car , the door that has the new actuator doesn't look .. it remains unlocked. ( but this problem only if I double tap on the key when I lock the car so the alarm deactivates). What should I do ?
Nice, I have learnt something. Was wondering, what is the rims and tyre size?
Thanks man, Rims are 18" 8.5J tyres 225/40/18
Ive got a seat ibiza 6l ive tried pushing the plastic piece up and pulled handle but the door wont open at all when i pull handles. Any advice?
It’s probably still stuck then, you may have to find a way to force it until it clicks to the unlocked position mate.
Can you help I have a simular issue on my Mk1 Octavia 4x4 1.8t, the drivers door doesn't lock unlock with the key fob. I have changed the actuator for the same make you have just done and still not working. All the other doors work on the key fob and all the drivers door electrics work, the only thing is the alarm led wont illuminate as well ? Could it be the comfort module ?
Hi mate I think you need to check your wiring that goes through to the door as I think you have a disconnection or split. If the light doesn’t illuminate then there is no power getting to the door.
In just had a similar case on a mk4 front right door lock actuator that was throwing fault code “Communication intermittent” and that was unable to lift mechanically and “stay lifted”
Based on a youtube comment of someone successfully opening the lock by supplying 12V to pin 1 and 2 of the actuator, I decided to RUN THE ENGINE and the door unlocked after pressing keyfob unlock.
Must have been the extra juice from the alternator vs fully charged battery that saved me from chiseling the lock open?
Perhaps useful for others to try
Ah right that’s handy to know, I think I’m going to do the front doors soon just for peace of mind then I know all 4doors are done.
Could you post a link to the part? Cheers
no worries here it is mate. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141884159836

Hey there
In my Mk4 Golf tailgate there is a plug near bootlock could u perhaps tell me whats use for it
Hi Mate, I have no idea.
can you do this without removing the rear window ?
Window needs to come out otherwise you can’t remove the inner door panel piece to get the actuator out.
What are those seat covers?
These seats are golf mk4 anniversary seats
I like the wheels of your car, what kind of they are?
thanks mate mine are xxr 527
I found there's s safety lock which locks doors closed in dead. I think if you take apart the door module and grind down that lever a bit, you can actually keep your old door module
With my mk4 jetta when this happened hust push Against the door from the outside and it shoild open again do you dong have to make a hole 😂
Lol you lucky I had to make that ugly hole because mine was actually stuck.
No need to cut a hole in the door. I have replaced 4 stuck doors and using a screwdriver to liver the mental liver from inside opens door
Yeah that’s a better way of doing it
