Hi there, I have a 1998 Seat Cordoba but the paddle in the drivers door lock broke so i couldn't lock the door i went to seat and got all the parts which they told me was very common! I can fit all the bits in but the spring is hard work it won't lock in so i can't slide the last bit in to...

this is driving me nuts - got home from work today took shopping out of boot and now boot wont lock. I have read over all threads and cant find a work around just to lock the boot for the night. its well out of warrenty and has had a replacement lock under warrenty two or so years ago as the...

I have a problem with door locks on a Y plate Leon Cupra. Basically the key fob has stopped working so for now i was using the key in the lock however this too is now not working. The problem is when turning the key in the lock the windows wind down or up (depending how i turn the key) but the...

Hi, I did do a search, but couldn't find a definitive answer...which I really need as I am going to attempt to fix this myself. I have a 54 Leon Cupra TDI. Sometimes when I lock the car using the key fob, the drivers side door does not lock. It is equally intermittent when I unlock the...

i'm coming at this from having steering that made no real noise (other than what you'd expect) until a few weeks back. since then when i'm parking (so very low speeds) the steering doesn't sound too healthy at either end of the lock, i reckon it starts when i'm in the last 3/4 of each lock if...

Hi everyone, new to this site, looks good, I have a problem the sensor on my tailgate thinks it's open and as a result can't lock the car as the alarm thinks it's been opened and is triggered. Any ideas how to overcome this as I'm not keen on my new pride and joy being unlocked overnight?

i deliver kebabs and pizza's in my mk1 fr tdi. Its really annoying that the autolock kicks in and i have to keep pressing the unlock button on the door. Is there a way to disable this so that when my door opens they all unlock? Im happy to keep the autolock over 6-10kph or what ever its...

I wonder if anyone can help. I recently bought an Ibiza TDi sport and have noticed that when I put full lock on the steering, especially to the right, there is a loud knocking noise. As soon as take the full lock off, the noise disappears. I took the car up to a garage that I've used for years...

Where on the car (LCR 225) is the control module for the windows/door locks (if one exsists?) had a search couldnt quite find what i was looking for. Cheers in advance:)

I've got a couple of queries. Some nice kids broke into my 01 Leon SE TDI a couple of nights ago and pinched my £1.5k mountain bike :( They somehow managed to get the driver's door undone without the alarm going off and also unlocked the boot and put all the windows down! I can't recreate...

I've had a search but can't find my exact problem/s I have a 5 door 2000 cool/s, since i bought my car earlier this year my front passenger door won't unlock/lock with the central locking (the boot and the rest of the doors will). This wasn't a major issue for me because i just pulled the pin...

hi guys, sister took her DAB tdi to the local dealer last thursday, as the pass side door wouldn't open from the outside, it seemed like the handle wasn't catching properly. They took the car inside the workshop, and she was there about an hour. door works fine from the outside and inside...

Can some one please confirm the torque settings for the TB bolts and also if they need thread lock? I think it might be 17lbft. Thanks... J

I have the parts here thanks to Dave @ Sere motors, can anyone give me a good pointer as how to fit them without ruining the trim?

Hi all, after having my car broken into on sat, i'm looking at removing the door locking barrel, has anyone done this and what have you used? Thanks

Went to start my car today, turned the key and nothing happened then I noticed the clock and trip computer display was all faded and only showing parts, then dash lights started flashing. Tried to start it again, nothing and the alarm went off. tried to lock / unlock it using the key to...

hey. i'm looking to get a new lock for the drivers door as some mug thought it would be a great idea to stick a screwdriver in it last night and rob my sound system. as you can tell i'm not too happy. :( if anyone knows prices and the best place to take it would be great if you could let me...

Had a look at this; http://www.cg-lock.co.uk/ What does it actually do? Does it just stop the seat belt sliding back and forth, therefore basically holding your lap in nice and tight?

I have a 57 2.0TFSI Leon FR with DSG. Only been serviced about month or so ago but has developed a grinding noise when moving from stand still when steering is on or close to full lock (sounds like something is rubbing or 'dry'). Doesnt appear to happen when moving off in a straight line...
