Central Locking problem

Hi all, my first ever post on here!

First of all an issue with my Central Locking as stated in title,
I have used the search bar and looked through a few pages of issues but can't seem to find any information to my dilemma....

So when I first got the car it came with only the spare key. Oh boy what a nightmare! So when I unlock the doors manually I have like 3 seconds to get in the car ninja style and put the key in ignition before the car alarm goes off. I put up with this problem for the past 3 months and today I decided to treat myself to a remote key, which was £75 supplied, cut and programmed which I thought was pretty good considering Seat wanted like £180 or something silly...

Anyway, keys sorted lock the car with the button, all the doors lock and unlock apart from the driver door which defeats the object of me getting a remote key for easy access...if im inside the car pressing the door lock and unlock button I can hear it working on both rear doors and front passenger but the drivers door has no sound. If anyone could confirm it is that and also confirm the item listed below is the part I need?

Many thanks!

Hi mate, yeah that module will be the problem and that is the right model on ebay. We've all used ebay ones before and they work fine.

No worries :) The guide makes it seem longer than it is, i've done a few now and can probably do one in around a hour from start to finish.

Hi guys. I've got the exact same problem on my mk2. It used to only do it in the cold seasons but is now just getting worse. Has anybody a rough idea how much it costs to get done?

I saw the lock for my car less than £30 on ebay, went through the link matty posted and a quick google search and it may not even have to be changed, might be just soldering points may have cracked and need resoldering...i havent had a chance to do this yet, might attempt tomorrow or the day after

I attempted it about a year ago and got so far with the door trim off but as soon as I realised I had to tamper with the outside lock I stopped. Just can't afford the time something went wrong. Good luck when you attempt it mate. Post how you get on

No worries mate, glad you got it sorted. First module is always the hardest, at least you'll know what you're doing when the next one goes,lol
