Thank you soooo much. You just saved me over $500 because i am going to try to replace the actuator myself instead of bringing it to the shop. Thank you and thank you TH-cam......from San Jose, CA
Great video! I will add an important thing for me and maybe for others viewers: you need to put that metal spring in the gap you see in the piece where you put the cable from the old lock (4:04 to 4:11) to get the right adjustment for the door handle, otherwise it will be loose.
Thanks for the video. A tip for anyone doing this solo: apply some painters or masking tape to the edge of the quarter panel before taking the door skin off. This will protect it from accidental damage, (which unfortunately happened to me - edge scrape putting the door skin back on).
Thank you, this helped with my '06 Jetta. I hadn't realized the faulty door actuator was why I wasn't getting a chime when I left my lights on until the new one was installed. Bonus!
Remember do bottom nuts up first so it aligns with top. Wind out screw holding handle in , wind out to much and the whole dinner piece will fall out and you'll need to work out how it goes back together. Only knew I had a problem when locking the lights didn't flash , would only flash when unlocking so I could have had a faulty unlocked door mor months.
Thanks man 🙏, I haven't done the rears before, but I assume they would be very similar, I do need to do them on my car too but haven't gotten to them yet.
Any idea if this process can be used with a MK4 (GTI)? All the other videos get to the actuator by removing everything on the inside of the door. This is would be a lot easier.
Thx, I believe the cable at 6:55 is the way to adjust the handle, try removing and reinstalling it again but with more tension on the cable if that explanation makes any sense. My door handle is also a bit looser too after the fix but not loose enough for me to bother with opening the handle again.
Hey friend, was wondering, my cables between the door and car are broken off and beyond repair, is it this outer panel i should remove to solder on a replacement connector? My plan was to cut the wires inside the door, put on a new connector and feed it back thru the rubber thingy.
I haven't dealt with this issue before but looks like the harness first goes into the door from the outside in 2:27 . Would recommend looking up a parts diagram, might help see how everything goes and might also find a complete door wire harness online instead of fixing it. Good luck
@@ZakiGarage Thanks for the reply, it does look like that yeah. It's an old car with not that many km's left so doing the cheapest ways of repairing it at the moment, sadly it's time is soon up!
Nice video, very similar to mine 😄 but I still have the problem of not unlocking from the fob😿 idk why. Maybe some broken wires in the wire loom? I’ll check that out
I had the same problem. I disassembled the fob, cleaned out the dust and put it back together. It fixed it for me, and the LED even works again. Did you find a fix for yours?
I just have the hardest time getting the driver door lock cylinder out of the door. I don't feel any screws threading except maybe one that doesn't turn but feels like a spring that just keeps spinning, just like the door lock cylinder because it's broken. I can't get the outer door panel off with the lock cylinder still holding it in place, what to do?
The screw on the lock cylinder doesn't take a lot of turns, and you're not supposed to remove that screw. Try putting the screw all the way back in, and slowly see if the lock cylinder starts moving with every turn of that screw, and the door handle has to pulled or open when removing the lock cylinder.
Hi, I have a 2009 Passat CC (frameless window) - have removed the front driver's door card trim and then the inner panel inside that and have now gained limited access to the door lock actuator and its white plastic carrier frame. Looks like you need to remove the window/window carrier however to get the actuator fully out so it can be replaced. Might be better if I remove the outer steel door skin to more easily remove the door lock actuator. What do you think? Any suggestions?
This vid is on the front left bit driver side but the same as your front right driver side. The back doors I haven't taken them off yet but I assume the process is similar to the front.
Hi I’ve got an issue with my mk5 golf where the door is dead in the locked position. Windows don’t go up or down. Door cannot be open from inside or out. What can I do?
I'm not familiar with how to fix this issue, but since both lock and window don't work I would check if its an electrical problem first where the door isnt getting electricity. would check with a scan tool if there is communication with the door modules and if the harness to the door isn't damaged if you can access it.
Sorry I didn't put the part number since there are at least 2 different locks with different pin numbers on the connector for this car depending on which model you have. I ordered the wrong part in the beginning, so i do recommend to make sure which part number is the correct one for your car before ordering.
I didn't put a link since there are different locks for this car. And I did order the wrong one at first. And the quality on some of the locks I tried were not good.

Good catch, might readjust it in the future.
Is the Golf 7 the same?
Short, simple and straight to the point instructions without all the narrative pizzazz.
This tutorial is the best of the lot ,
Not sure why it hasn’t got more views

Very werid fault connection but glad it all worked out for you ✌🏻
Excellent . Best by far and I have done some searching for door skin and door lock removal complete with tool bits required
thanks for this video. because of this i was able to reassamble the door mechanism after upping faulty driver window
Thank you. This helped me very easily replace the lock actuators on both my front and rear passenger doors on my MK5 and saved me a lot of money.
Thanks for the video,
Replaced my actuator exactly as per your step by step guide. 😊
Glad it helped
Thank you! Replaced the door skin, the strut and the door actuator with just this vid!
Thanks, glade to help

Thank you. Followed your video and problem fixed.
Saved me some dollars that’s for sure. Cheers. 👍
Took me a long time to find this but VERY useful - thanks!
Glad it helped!

Hi and thank you so much for your video! a have a question.. to change the rear door look would be a similar process? thank you again dude!

Sorry, not familiar with the MK4's. MK5 and older models are extent where I live so I never see them.
What if I can't open the door? It's locked and the handles don't work neither the window
Nice video, helped a lot, but have issue with door handle it's kinda loose compare with other ones any idea what I done wrong?

Do the doors strip down like this on the mk6 2009 golf too?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You saved me hundreds of euros, thank you!!
Glad to help 👍
Hi. Could I have the bolt number for the electric lock please? 5:08 thank you 😁
thank you brother.
Great video here!
hello please the size of clips in 0:20 thanks i need this clips
Nice video, very similar to mine 😄 but I still have the problem of not unlocking from the fob😿 idk why. Maybe some broken wires in the wire loom? I’ll check that out
Thx, I've heard about reprograming the locks with VagCom tool, you can look into that.
I had the same problem. I disassembled the fob, cleaned out the dust and put it back together. It fixed it for me, and the LED even works again. Did you find a fix for yours?
@@sbodaly Nope, now is working fine but who knows when it's gonna stop working again lol

I'm not familiar with the passat but I would start with investing in a repair manual for that model and see the repair procedures for the lock.
Very good useful
Hi. I need to replace right side front (driver site in UK) Is it any different between rear side doors and front side doors in process? Tom
This vid is on the front left bit driver side but the same as your front right driver side. The back doors I haven't taken them off yet but I assume the process is similar to the front.
@@ZakiGarage Ok I quess the same. Thanks!
THANK YOU I LOVE YOU
6:58 is that a tiny microchip in the door handle ? Just like the one in the key remote ?
Thats attaching the cable end between the handle and the lock mechanism. If not attached the handle would not open the door.
@@ZakiGarage Thanks a lot for answering.
Thank you.
Welcome!
Thank so much
You are welcome

You can do it without disassembling the door panel you need an angle key that's all
Anyone got a part number?

Peugeout 207cc
Any link to buy the compatible lock? Thank you.
I didn't put a link since there are different locks for this car. And I did order the wrong one at first. And the quality on some of the locks I tried were not good.
HE forgot the big spring
Think I'll let someone else do this one..
