Hi
Among other issues, this car came to me with the interior locking button not working correctly...
Would lock, but wouldn't unlock.
Follow me on this video to find out what was the problem and how to resolve it.
To clean: Isopropyl Alcohol

Like always, thank you for watching!
In this throw away world it’s fantastic to see parts repaired, much more satisfying than just fitting new . Is the time repairing worth it , probably not . Is the sense of pride repairing worth it , 100% worth it. Well done .
Couldn't agree more...😊
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
And saves a lot of money witch is nice especially if you don't have much
👍👍👍
One man's trash is another man's treasure!
Nicely done again.
Cheers
Indeed...😊
Thank you for watching!

Nice fix, I've scraped those carbon contacts across a clean sheet of paper beforehand to refinish the surface. It usually works well👍🏻

why the heck should we have to dismount the whole panel to remove what could be a simple clip-in switch? .. this is maybe another form of 'up-selling' .. adding value to easy jobs to increase profits. thanks for the video I always like to see the vids, common sense and practicality. 👍 good fix
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
It takes less than two minutes to get the door panel off. It's hardly a big deal, and it's not going to increase anybody's profits. The reason the switch fits from behind is simply a design issue; for it to be removable from the front, it would have to have an escutcheon, and obviously VW wanted the switch to look cleaner than that.
Obrigado Luis! Imagine how much the dealer would charge to diagnose & replace, but now seeing your repair will give others the opportunity to attempt a repair themselves. If that doesn’t work, well at least we had a try..
Absolutely!...
👍👍👍
Imagine if aviation had the same standards as automotive, planes would be falling out of the sky daily. I can just imagine how the landing gear would be designed, to save weight we put some plastic parts here, and according to some mumbo jumbo science it's actually stronger than titanium.
Those silicone buttons i have fixed years ago in a programmable remote control i really liked, they simply stop being conductive, you cant scratch or do anything to fix them, the best solution i found was to glue foil to the button, which also comes with it's own problems, glue and silicone doesn't really bind well.
👍👍👍
Has anyone tried using the conductive paint for repairing rear heated window elements?
Not here...😳
Awesome tutorial. I couldn't buy spare replacement part in my country. Open the switch unit, clean membrane on blank a4 paper, use alcohol to wipe contacts with q tip. Worked for me. You can also use conductive paint or aluminium foil tape to fix the keypad membrane.
That's great!
👍👍👍
I had the same issue in a VW Caddy. I cleaned the conductive pads and the contacts on the board. I also soldered the pins in place, just for good measure. It seems to have solved the problem for me.
😊
👍👍👍
oh my god ...this is the videos i was looking from past 6 months it seems......and worth for keep on searching ...thanks a lot and it was awesome detailing wever seen....
☺️
Glad you found it!😋
👍👍👍
Nice job as always, Luis, cheers. Watching your videos has become a steady part of my Sunday routine. So nice you put out all this knowledge for everyone to learn from. Keep up the good work!
😊
Thanks...
👍👍👍
Nice fix, it's always a joy to repair at component level. However, I wouldn't have made that fix because if that membrane comes off, you are facing the risk of sudden and random central lock openings. Instead, I would have either ordered a new button (straight and more expensive solution) or re-painting the contact rubber with Caikote44 fluid.
Keep doing that great job!
Very unlikely that the membrane will ever come off...
I glued it to the rest of it, plus once the button is all assembled, it tights everything together...
Well, at least in did not came off for 1 year... 😋
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Genius what a great solution! Nice to see you have alcohol in your shed oh no sorry workshop you sure do get some stressful repairs 😄

Indeed I do...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Nice repair video

Theres a thingy, called "Graphite spray". You just need to mask that little circle and spray it in two steps (spray, let it dry, spray it again) and it will works exactly like the original ;)
😊
Need to get hold of some...
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Nicely done sir.
😊
Thanks!

Good fix. I’m sure someone has already asked, but what is your occupation if that’s not too nosy?
😊
Nothing to do with cars, electrics or electronics...
I am self taught, and just enjoy fixing stuff and share it with others...😉

Hello . I want your opinion since you are so good on fixing cars . I have a golf 5 1.6 BGU 102 hp converted to LPG and i keep getting 16555 fuel trim system too lean code . Everything runs fine . I’ve replaced O2 sensor , spark plug , checked for vacuum leaks everything is fine but i keep getting this code . Please help me i don’t now what to do anymore with this car
Did you had the problem before the car was converted to LPG?
Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs i dont know when i got the car had multiple errors and one of them was O2 sensor I changed it and know the olny error is this one . Do you think it comes from LPG ? The LPG is brand new.
Possibly...
Does the car triggers the code running on both fuels?
@@LMAutoRepairs I think it does
You need to double check and test...
Check also wiring etc...
This looks like an (chinese) aftermarket switch. I took apart a lot of VW (and chinese copys) switches over the years to change the LED colors. Normally the VW boards are green. And the button you touch is black plastic with molded in symbols on original VW switches and not painted white plastic. Just wanted to let you know.
👍
I have 2014 gti mine does the opposite the button switch will unlock but won’t lock on both door switches and my key fob.. any help?
Probably the same problem...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs do you know which fuse is the central locking for 2014 gti?
Not from the top of my head...
The manual should show you that...

What a bad designed system. I would solder some small push buttons.
Another good solution...

One other (more expensive!) option is this
