Door not unlocking and indicator flashing 3 times
« on: February 12, 2025, 02:20:49 pm »
Hi,

I really don't want to see my GTI go, and get a new car. I am hoping these are easy/cheap fixes.

First of all, the passenger driver door does not open when using the key fob. It does open when using driver side door unlock button.

Secondly, when indicating right and I turn right, straighten the steering wheel to automatically disengage indicator, it indicates left 3 times.

I am due to go for MOT next month and both these issues would fail the car.

Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

Sorry to bump this up. Would anyone have a link to a 'mk5 golf front passenger door lock actuator', preferably one that is tried and tested?

Does this look like the right part https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354289895532?chn=ps&_ul=GB&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-166974-033325-9&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=354289895532&targetid=2276391439863&device=c&mktype=pla_with_promotion&googleloc=9045207&poi=&campaignid=22093875324&mkgroupid=174015498438&rlsatarget=pla-2276391439863&abcId=10153507&merchantid=423924599&geoid=9045207&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwtu9BhC8ARIsAI9JHalHmO92q_F4C_24JXat1XYMMV3WdgXqHGqHlCpHmi6OJIJGha3pqOkaAiTHEALw_wcB?

States that it is compatible with 2007 MK5 Golf GTI
"VW   Golf   2007   Petrol Hatch   2.0 GTI   FWD V 1K1   1984cc 147KW 200HP AXX;BWA;CAWB"

SCRAP THAT. DOESN'T POST TO NI.

Going to try and replace with help of friend.

Many thanks,
CD
