Pleased they sorted it for you.

That's because you've had the window motor regulator replaced "not the lock module assembly"!

you could have bought the motor of ebay for around £30 and you could have changed it yourself

only 3 screws hold it in place, although you would have had to get the door card off first

Spoke to VW about what they replaced under the above part number reply is below

" I can confirm that this item is correct – it is actually a motor and control unit combined. we cannot change the part description as this is as described by Volkswagen but for warranty purposes we know exactly what has been replaced "

Did anyone know this ?

It is the door controller for the rear door which also is the window motor

as i said it could have been a cheap fix, at least you have 2 yrs warranty on it. although that won't be transferable if you sell the car

Better not sell it then

garrardrj Did VW ever tell you how they got the door open? I have exactly the same problem on my passenger door of my 3 door Mk5 GTi. I've tried the trick with the pick and doesn't seem to have worked. I've got no electrics on the passenger side at all (central locking, window), even if you try from the drivers side controls or the key, so I'm pretty confident it's a motor like yourself or the wiring loom. There is something also draining my battery so I'm hoping it's all linked together.

If I can just get this door open I can look!
