Door locks

[cjp]

So, my front door locks have gone. Passenger side locked closed and drivers is having electrical issues (no beeping if lights on and not turning alarm off).
Anyone have experience of new / old ebay ones or am i best getting two from Seat? Anyone know the cost?

It's an uber common issue o these cars are if you Google it I'm pretty sure you'll find literally hundreds of threads about it.

New genuine ones are about £140 or so iirc.
eBay pattern ones go for about £17-£20 and generally work without problems.
Second hand ones are a gamble as they're likely to be a similar age to your own so may fail imminently anyway.

Hope you can have it unlock the passenger side. Otherwise it's a complete Pig to do.

I’ve got an issue my rear passenger door doesn’t always unlock, if I tap the door pressing the fob I can get it to unlock, what is it I’m looking at replacing please?

It's the locking modules that screw up. Loads of threads on here as they are always going. My front passenger started playing up recently. You need to check as if it's not working with the central locking it can be the drivers locking module.
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong I'm sure.

Are the locking modules dear?

As Thai wrong horse said above originals like 140. eBay aftermarket which seem to last long enough are about 17 quid.

Yours sounds like drivers locking module. Which has audible alarms for low fuel and lights left on etc and plays havok with alarm because alarm recognises the doors aren't all locked. End result is car not arming properly or alarm being activated. Had that on my last Cupra.
Again someone will corr ft me if that's not quite right.

Sparkie is right..... Whatever door is struggling/failing to unlock, the module in that door needs changing.

Any Alarm issues and/or a lack of "lights on warning buzzer" means drivers door lock module needs changing.

Guide to changing them here.... http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthre...indow-regulator-clips-and-or-door-lock-module Our cars are identical to the golf once the outer door panel is off. The rear doors are pretty much the same as the front.

No need to take it to a garage, easy enough to do it yourself. Takes about 2 hours if it's your first time replacing one, about an hour once you know the procedure.

this is the driver side rear door lock I used to fix mine
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DOOR-LOCK...TAVIA-REAR-RIGHT-SIDE-3B4839016A/132149813788
remember that when you fit it you will need to reseal the door panel

Cheers do I need to purchase a special sealant?
