Volkswagen Door Lock Fix

Removing, repairing and refitting a broken door lock cylinder on a Volkswagen Polo Mk4 9N. If the key doesn't turn at all or it just keeps rotating without opening the door lock, then one or more of the internal parts of your lock cylinder are probably damaged or broken. This repair process is similar in many other VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat cars from certain years. Check with your car’s manufacturer to be sure. The cam inside the barrel is the part that usually breaks. I carried out the repair with the cylinder in my hands but it would probably be easier clamped in a vice, if you have access to one. You can buy a repair kit online for a few euros/dollars. I would advise keeping your locks lubricated to prevent them from breaking in the first place. Thanks for watching.

Double check to make sure they fit your car

[@slepovod6205]

@@screwsnutsandbolts I'd repaired it during Easter bank holiday's weekend with the right parts (well I shoudl grid a bit here and there but I make it done) I can actully see if I would order it on Amazon I would be even cheaper than here in CZ. Anyway so far best video tutorial for such situation. Thanks and bye

[@lelo_7375]

Did you replace anything or just take it apart and put it back together? I have a problem when i unlock it it works fine but if i try to lock it it keeps rotating indefinetly. Should i order repair kit before trying anything or could the fix be just to reasemble it?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I just took it apart and put it back together to demonstrate the process. If it keeps spinning in one direction it sounds like some internal part has worn or broken so it's it's up to yourself if you want to order a kit before disassembling the lock to check.

[@speedygonzalezz7906]

Do you know where i ca buy the Kit for 2 dors polo 2004 mk4?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You can find replacement kits on Ebay or Amazon

[@jezpday]

What happens if you don't keep the handle open while you're undoing the Tork screw?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

The locking ring could pop off and fall inside the door frame, which can be a lot of work to retrieve and refit

[@ademimeri6604]

But what did you change the cam the spring or tailpiece? (Or all)

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I was just demonstrating the disassembly/reassembly process but it's usually the cam that breaks.

[@ademiryarascaapolinario2977]

Hello bro, is the repair kit the dame for VW Gol 2011? Thank you!
