- Hardest part is finding the triple square socket it has 12 points.. .then just squeezing it out between the window regulator rail and the door opening...I forgot how to remove the inside door handle cable but it's simple if you look at it..it comes off the lock with a twist on the white winged clip looking part..Enjoy...S6E251

I just did this today with my 2016 Jetta, thank you so much. I work on electronics, and never really worked on anything automotive, so i needed as much information as possible, and this was all i needed. Thank you brother
Hardest part is those weird screws and the tool you need for it...glad it worked out for you and thanks for watching too...
Thank you a lot I was tired of watching all kind of videos and this is the only one that help me with my issue, clear and very helpful good job 👍🏽
You saved the Best for Last, Thanks for watching too...
Gotta do this job today on my 2012 Jetta. Thank you for the clear and concise video!
Definitely get that triple square tool, it helps on the screws on the door... good luck and take your time...and thanks for watching too.
I do have a 2014 Jetta completely different door no plastic cover to access the actuator
@@mightyman1855 you're the original owner and it was never opened before?
@@alyoungcuda yes never opened before
@@alyoungcuda the only access is the unreversed the large speakers. No access what so ever . 20014 Jetta sport-wagon TDI
For the love of God take his advice with those triple square screws! He is 100% correct that a torx bit will not work! Also a square bit will not work, I know it does sometimes in wood but this is metal.
And I had a hard time finding a set, had to order them from Autozone and wait a day..Thanks for the Compliments...
Got them at orileys for $9
@@MikeAspireMedia 9 bucks for that 1 size...not a set
@@alyoungcuda set of 4 brother
@@MikeAspireMedia cool
Thank you for the great video man!
Thanks for watching...
My take-away from following this video: when it comes to getting the actuator out, the best method I have is having constant pressure against the window regulator bar, both back and to the right. You can actually remove the latch cable for the outside door handle while you're in the door, it is very tight but you -can- do it. When removing the actuator, after disconnecting the outside cable, orient the actuator with the big face side toward you, and the lip of the other side so when you're constantly pulling, you have some room to maneuver your hand to help it along toward the back. Also, *WHEN YOU REMOVE THE COVER OF THE OLD ACTUATOR, REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY ON THE NEW ONE*. I forgot to replace mine, and by the time I realized, I was buttoning the interior of the door up, so I said screw it.
As far as replacing parts goes, this is one of only ones I could suggest that DIY is okay, as long you have the right size torx and triple square bits. When initially removing the inner door, there is only one screw that is not like the other 3, with a total of 4. The lone screw is at the bottom. If you really care about your interior, be sure to use tough plastic trim tools and not metal screw drivers, I need not tell you what can happen. When you get some leeway at the bottom when removing the inner door, keep constant pulling pressure, sliding your left hand toward the tail-end of the door as you start hearing the clips get removed. It's tough plastic but it still has its limits.
Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching...
Ok the black and silver set screw that goes into the key lock mechanism from the side. Where they screw in there is a piece that kepts moving in and out so the black screw will not go in completely. So the door want stay closed at times. Please tell me what i did wrong or did i break something else.
I don't see the part listed in the vw online catalog, but if you broke that part, the door lock should still work, that part only supports the door cylinder in
Before you do anything, remove the door handle and make sure the electrical connection is tight and locked. If it is then proceed to get your parts and special tool.
On my car the passenger side electrical connection wasn’t being made because some dumb ass either didn’t bother to slide the lock closed. Or maybe they opened the lock when they inserted the door handle into the door. Either way, careless. When the connection isn’t made the door latch won’t even latch let alone lock.
You have to take the handle off anyways. Why not see if you can save some money before you go pulling the door apart?
Unfortunately its a common problem, hence the updated version
@@alyoungcuda updated version of what exactly? The slide lock on the electrical connector of the door handle?
@@992Archer the lock itself, they change the letters in the part number when a new version is out
Any tips for getting the lock cylinder out of if doesn’t turn ?
The black torx screw holds the cylinder in..after you remove it, it pulls right off and out.
@@alyoungcudathank you
My car is running outside my house right now… and I can’t get in haha this sucks. Great video tho
Oh no...
Tried doing this myself, the driver door lock is completely dead. Both screws that hold on the lock actuator immediately stripped… hope I can have someone else fix it.
Harbor freight tools, lowes has a craftsman brand and autozone sells a tool to help remove the stripped out screws, did you use the proper 3 square tool that I recommend using?
@@alyoungcuda I used a Torx bit, it fit snug but stripped it. I think I’m just going to take it to a shop and have it done, I have the new lock, just needs installed. I’m also having trouble with two of the door panel screws that won’t go back in properly.
@@SebastianSteele torx is not strong enough for that but you tried.
@@alyoungcuda yeah I should have watched your video first, but I just found it.
@@SebastianSteele darn it
Hello sir. I have a VW Touran 2006 and the handle bar is pretty loose it unlocks and locks just fine but it’s loose and won’t go all the way in it keeps sticking out a bit. I tryed to tighten it up but the T20 screw won’t tight up at all 😩 any solutions? Thanks
The plastic clip that the screw goes into is most likely stripped..you might need to replace the handle assy
@@alyoungcuda ^ in which case this video will be necessary for DIY, as it would behoove them to still remove the door lock actuator.
Which triple square set did you buy from Autozone?
Yes, it had to be ordered from them, its not something they stock and no one else had it including harbor freight ,lowes,home depot etc...
@@alyoungcuda do you remember what brand and how many were in the set?
@@asterisq3343 9 piece square drive set model #25953 from oem tools
What size was the triple square. I have a set and it doesn’t match.

PLEASE READ I did all the steps but I don’t know how to reinstall the door panel there is literally no videos I can find of people reinserting the door panel I was struggling for two hours and will probably take it to a mechanic do you have any solutions for me. I don’t know what to do, the retainer clips are so hard to put in there are so many I can do it all at the same time !
If you watch the video again the last part was to lift the door panel up and out, so the 1st thing to install is to hook the door panel on top, it might be easier with the glass in the down position.
Hey bro I have the same exact car and problem. Is there a serial number I can get for the exact part and where did you get it?
It should be on the 2nd video when I replaced it..
They look it up by your vin number at the dealer..its the same number that is on this old one except the newer version ends with the letter J..the old one has an E

Was the problem fixed after replacing this part?
100% fixed the problem..
the issue ive been having with my 16 jetta is that the driver door won't lock at all even with keys. everytime i lock it, the system unlock it. i don't know how to fix this issue
Its clearly not a mechanical problem because it does lock and hold the door..you can unplug the lock assy from inside the door and you can manually open and close the lock..but it will get boring over time..is that the only door that does this or is it all the doors doing the same..if its the only door then its the lock assy..
the driver door locks then instantly unlocks i using key and only the driver door that won't lock
then once i slow down the door try to lock itself and keep making noises
That lock assy is shot..the automatic lock actuator is all built into it as 1 piece..
@@alyoungcuda does the actuator have chip. do i have to buy it from the dealership or i can buy from ebay.
Why can’t you just show how to manually lock front driver side???????????
Because the original problem is that it doesn't lock...hence the replacement..if you can manually lock it then a video would of been made out there and the world would be a safer place without your door flying open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@alyoungcuda you can manually lock every other door bubble head, why not the driver door. Locking the door has nothing to do with it staying attached to the vehicle. I’m worried you may be having a stroke
@@SiParpi bubble head, the problem with this car was that the door was flying open by itself and then won't lock in the closed position, if it could of been locked then why the hell would we fix it in the 1st place..who makes a video of changing a lock for no friggin reason, guess you do
@@SiParpi the door DOESN'T LOCK..SO IT DOESN'T CLOSE..WHAT IS IT THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND..SO WHOS THE BUBBLE HEAD...
@@alyoungcuda I’m sure you have some legitimate reason in your mind that makes some mechanical sense, but your 8th grade writing level is laughable here. This sentence suggests that the door doesn’t close because it doesn’t lock. That makes no sense. Again, I’m sure you have something up there, but you just don’t have the words to get it out
