Thank you so very much for this detailed tutorial, it’s by far the best I have seen and the only one that really gives me confidence to do this myself. I have owned two polo 9n and this issue has affected both of them on different doors. There are tutorials on how to fix the micro switches that cause this issue, but seeing how much work is involved in this I feel more confident just changing the whole door lock mechanism as you did. I took the boor card off once to take a look and stopped when I saw the steel plate behind the door card, even taking the door card off I would have benefited greatly from your tip to turn the door card upside down to remove the door latch cable .
This was not an easy job. 😢 Mine is currently malfunctioning on the driver side, sometimes it work fine and sometimes it isn't. At 9:47 you talked about ordering a new plastic. Please could you share with me a link where i can get it too?
@idabieteddyota5637 Glad it helped :-) You're right - I was being a bit optimistic in the thumbnail.. I have found my VW invoice and I think the clip is: V6Q0837867 - hope that helps?
My 05 polo won’t lock any doors only the drivers when key turned in drivers side. but will unlock/lock all from passengers also the windows aren’t working any ideas?
Hmm interesting - sounds like it could be an ecu problem - I would start with a fault code read & then Google the codes that you get as a starting point.. Let me know how you get on?
