Passenger door wont open??

[Tortaruga]

That isn't an oem module. They're probably fine though.

Is the door controller linked to the windows aswell ? My rear n/s door won't open and the electric window won't work either ! Both occurred at same time

Is this the part to fix the problem ?

Can't remember from memory but don't think it is. Is yours a 5 door as I've heard the door wiring looms can break causing similar issues.

I'm getting this problem randomly on my 05-plate 5-door Mk5 GTI but opening the door physically via the lever from inside works fine.

Mine is on the front passenger door.

So my R/N/S door won't open and also the same door window won't open either , its got to be the wiring hasn't it ? Anyway i have opened and closed the central locking about a hundred times and the door fails to unlock , any ideas how to undo it to get at the wiring ?

Anyone?

So if i take this problem to VW what will they do ?

Can you access the wiring with the door still locked ?

I can see the wiring for the door comes from the door into the B pillar ??

If it's the door lock module the last resort is to cut through the door skin. You should bring it to the dealer - they may have a trick or two up their sleeve to avoid this eventuality.

So the fuses have been checked for my "Rear Passenger Door Doesn't open" problem and they are ok

I need to open the door to rectify the wiring or the module problem (possibly wiring as the window doesn't work either) so how do i get the door open ?

Google search shows how to remove the door card but thats only shown when the door is open , i can't get at the botton torx screws ! Otherwise it would be reasonably easy

Any other help greatly appreciated

My passenger door isn't opening either. It started off as intermittent but now it just won't budge! (3 door)
Spoke to the master technician at VW today and he came and had a look. They've ordered a new lock etc.
I asked the question how to get the door open and he says firstly we will try with 1 person outside & 1 person inside pushing and pulling whilst trying the handles! If this fails they will take the window out and get to it that way?? Says its a tricky job, about an hours worth off messing about but that's how they've done it in the past.
When I mentioned I'd heard of people having to cut the door skins or panels he said that was a bit extreme and hasn't had to do that.
We'll see, it's in next Tuesday!!

Well my cars in at Wolsey VW Ipswich , they have diagnosed the problem , so they say £349 is the cost , although i haven't got the car back yet ! The service advisor said it was the r/n/s/ door module , does this effect the working of the electric window as both occurred at the same time ? Hope its sorted tomorrow , i've got a Golf Plus 1.6tdi Bluemotion for 2 days !

[garrardrj]

Cars back , window and door lock sorted 

£190 Labour £150 For the Module

This seems a regular problem , anyone know anybody who has had and success with VW Customer Service to see if they will contribute to the repair ?
