Title: replacing door lock mechanism
Post by: golfmk31993 on 07 February 2008, 13:21

hi,

the lock mechanism in my drivers door is not working , basically the little latch inside the door drops and wen i shut the door it just bounces back open, i have to push it up with my finger and then quickly shut the door before it drops again.

i want to replace this mechanism inside the door anyone know how to do this???

my car is a 1993 vw golf mk3 with no electric windows or central locking,

thanks

door handle off 2 screws-  door pin off -screws off and and doorcard is clipped on.

seal behind the door card is smegged on -heat with an hairdryer to heat glue makes it easy to take off
then undo the torx screws holding the latch on and remove it
