left front door jetta 4 2002

Post by gustav »

It is not possible to manually open the door that is stuck closed . I have tried everything possible and as a last resort I will have to take the door panel off from the inside, unless somebody has got a better plan

mk 4 and 5 have these issues. Need to find someone who can do the repair or replacement on the motor, they can usually also open up the door.

Thanks for the reply, but I just need the door to be opened, then I can do the rest

I have managed to open the door by drilling a 10 mm hole on the right spot between the door panel and post, used a T20 Torx and disengaged the motor from the lock and the door opened.

Re: error 01176 Key Signal too low jetta 4 2002

Very intermittently the engine would just switch off and on when driving. it can be good for months , then it happens . i have checked for error codes with an OBDeleven and this is the only fault that was found. I have used my spare key, but the fault is the same. so it could be the pick up coil in the ignition, any suggestions how to fix this if that is the case
