Thanks for an excellent video! It really helped to know what to undo and how. I bought a replacement lock from Goldwagen in Pietermaritzburg for R915 and it comes with a 12-month guarantee. Comparing the old and the new very carefully I can't see any difference whatsoever and it even had the same 'serial' number molded into the casing! One further comment to add: to remove the small fixed part of the door handle just keep slowly unscrewing the T20 screw set deep inside the door and eventually the small part starts moving out all on its own and can be gently pulled out without the need for a plastic 'crowbar'! Be careful not to unscrew it completely though, only as far as you need to.
@@basilkroeger4803 thanks a lot Basil Kroeger, I'm glad the video could help. Most of these replacement parts are usually factory spec that are sold to Volkswagen and then they brand them as their own. That's why you'll find that all the part numbers are the same. Yeah that screw did make it difficult for me to pull out the rear part of the door handle, but I'll do it better next time. Thanks a lot
Hopefully you can help me sort out another irritating problem I have with my Jetta 5. During the first year of ownership a rattle emerged from the left back wheel. If I remember correctly the agent replaced the cast aluminium frame that sits over the caliper and the noise disappeared but a few years later the rattle returned. I spoke to the service manager who said there are two steel pins that hold it in place and they wear. He said a cheap way of tightening the looseness is to squeeze the pins in a vice making them very slightly out of round which takes up the wear. It sounded a bit dodgy so I have never tried it. I was also told the first time it was fixed that it was definitely not brake pad rattle. Pushing and pulling on the aluminium frame one can feel a very slight play. Searching for a solution to the problem on the internet years ago, I saw a set of replacement pins that had two silicone bushes that they guaranteed will cure the very common rattle. I foolishly never bookmarked it and have never been able to find it again. Do you have a solution please?
@@basilkroeger4803 I think the rattle is caused by the bushings which goes inside the rear control arm as well as the trailing arm bushes. Once they are worn the control arm goes out of place and causes that rattle
Thanks Kulani, ha khensa kuva mi supporter channel I hope video leyi yita mi pfuna. The door actuator was R1 200, I bought it at Goldwagen. Please kindly consider subscribing to the channel if you haven't done so already, if you've already subscribed thank you.
My car has the same issue but on the driver's side....came back from the pannelbeaters Ike that after a spray job,going to try see if I can sort the actuator out.
Maybe they just forgot to plug the power connector back to the actuator, but I hope it goes well. Thank you for supporting the channel. Please kindly consider subscribing if you haven't done so already.

Great video, I'm having the same problem on my golf 5. How much was the actuator and where did you buy it?
