Rear door won't open from outside, but not always,

[Bertmort]

i have this problem. it started off being intermittent but now my front passenger door does not unlock from the outside.

when i lock the car it will lock but when i unlock the car that specific door does not unlock. always have to open it from the inside...which is very frustrating.

it doesnt unlock from the inside if i press the button near the handbrake to unlock the car.

really fecking me off

Hi All,

Just picked myself up a leon fr 550 2 weeks ago and it had this issue.
I found this video:

and after doing the same thing to my rear n/s door its back working properly, for now at least.

For anyone looking for the pdf for removing the door card, it was linked in another thread: http://web.archive.org/web/20111226193550/http://www.no1wok.co.uk/cupra/rdp.pdf

Any questions let me know

It did me too. I raised this question and the advice to drill into a certain part within the mechanism and squirt oil fixed this issue first time. There is a YouTube video on it. So pleased. Not difficult. Honest

Slamming the door shut seems to get it working also! Failed the MOT today because of it today. A slam of the door after spending 10 mins trying to get it working done the trick!

I followed that video posted, took off the 2 panels on the rear passenger door. Seems like someone already drilled the hole so I just sprayed a bunch of WD40 in. Closed the door, locked the car, unlocked and it's working perfectly! Even if I need to do this twice a year it takes 2 mins.

Hi all

I have a 2010 Leon FR 170 which has developed an issue in the last couple of days.

After unlocking my car the passenger side rear door won't open from outside.

If I use the inside handle, close the door, the outdoor handle then works fine.

Lock the car again and it's back to not opening again!

Only started in Friday morning so I am baffled!

pS I have tried wd40 in case the latch was dirty and sticking!

Many thanks

Matt

PS - going to start new post about getting the door panels off!!!!!!

Did you sort it out

Yes mate, as soon as I sprayed the WD40 in the door worked perfectly. No issues at all since I did this a few weeks ago.

It sounds like the lock actuator at fault there is on here somewhere info on how to fix it
you drill a wee hole through the plastic of the actuator and give it some wd40. I have
Now done this to 3 of my lock actuators and has fixed it every time.think the grease
Dries out through time and it makes it stick.
