I admire your tenacity in this! many would not even try to see what the problem was.. 10 out of 10.

[@manwinderpanesar]

A good mechanic's quality to work hard not to just change the specific part. I like your spirit for hard working. Doesn't matter it worked or not Good going bro....

[@fredxmedia]

I was able to fix it. I had exactly same issue. After watching this video, I opened up the lock and find out the white part (shaft) has broken so I used soldering iron to melt the broken area and added some strong plastic but you need to do very carefully that it doesn't loos the function, like small surgery operation. It's been a week already, works perfectly.

Thats great sir 👍

Bravo, if my white axel is broken too, I will try to bore a hole in the axis to insert a metallic bar, maybe a long nail with 1 or 1.5mm section to reinforce the plastic part. Another variant would be a long screw of small diameter.

[@yourDIYneeds]

@johnmanderson2060 yes sir that's a possibility , but at the same time we need to remember its plastic , and plastic gets brittle with time and use , it's just a matter of time before the thread on the shaft breaks .

Superb video, thank you so much for taking the time and sharing this. Shame that all too often it's a 'built to a price' item like this that fails, causing such a headache. In the UK, I spoke to a VW repair centre, who wanted over £100 to fix this issue. Armed with teh knowledge in this video and comments, I'm definitely having a go at repairing this myself. Thanks again my friend!

[@grahamcole4240]

My lock on my Tiguan was sometimes failing to open, I ordered a new one online for about £20 and it took me about 20 minutes to change it. Well within the capability of the average do it yourself person.

[@travisbryson6948]

Mate you made a valiant effort to n repair that. Well done.

[@callieander8414]

What a patient man

[@yourDIYneeds]

I am a bit confused sir , you used the word "patient " as an adjective or as a noun ? 😅😅 Hopefully adjective 😅

[@Fixationbeamng]

I had exactly the same problem! Fixed the problem, but the shaft was damaged as well so still needed to order a new one. Could be easy fix is the sold the parts separately

[@davecoles9398]

Great video mate, enlightened me 'No end' thanks very much.

[@lolakbea8893]

Great detail. Very thorough explanation. Thank you for sharing your expertise 😍

[@maheshns20]

Thanks for the video. I repaired it as the white gear lever was broken in inside. Fixed it with feviquick

[@alanross2305]

I did not know how these actuators worked. Thanks for the great video. Going to find one in my local salvage yard and try to incorporate into my Classic VW bus.

[@flyfarmer]

Good to see again.

[@legolash8370]

It's easy for polo owners to manage, for previous gen vento owners, we need to stop car and use key to open due to lack of mechanical release button

[@thembasimelane9161]

Thanks for the mechanism my brother . I fixed mine ,locked but then when i open and try to close it again it doesn't lock the spring is still attached in both slots

[@yourDIYneeds]

Is the shaft is intact?

[@johnmanderson2060]

Same question ☝🏻

[@jptruesee3773]

Hi what do i do when my inside lock to open the booth has also broke of when i was trying to open from the inside

[@AngrDany]

More simple just put the spring ear in the metal part, it will hold better and will not brake

[@radiantgaming2435]

Can u please tell me how to check supply is their or not?

[@radiantgaming2435]

I mean where to check supply ( contacts).

[@mohamedsulaiman9176]

Bro, in future post the whole teardown and assembly of the components(possibly in timelapse). It's difficult to comprehend with just the parted clips of the teardown.

[@yourDIYneeds]

Sure sir

[@waynebromilow]

If it is broken on the boot is locked then how do you get the boot open?

[@yourDIYneeds]

Sir from inside , there is an emergency release on the door card of boot

[@flyfarmer]

Sir during my trip in skoda rapid 1.6 L tdi, got low oil pressure red light continuously, which goes only afer switching off vehicle but again came after a 100 km. There was no leakage of oil but found oil at lower mark on dipstick. What may be the probable cause for the same. Afer this happened three times vehicle driven is 200 km and no light again please advise your helpful comment.

[@yourDIYneeds]

Sir if the engine oil level is low , then i advise you to top it up , the low oil pressure light comes on when engine is not able to maintain a desired oil pressure for essential components like crankshaft and camshafts , it can lead to severe damage . Due to low oil levels , oil pump is starving for oil and maybe sucking air , thats why its happening Oil not only lubricates you engine internals , it also help to maintain the temperature of internals .

[@StarlordRider]

Same thing happened in mine one too , I had to change it

[@arpan711]

Bro rapid me boot unlock krne par na ta boot light glow kr rahi hai he mid pe boot lid open ka logo show ho raha hai lock unlock bilkul sahi hai kya problem ho skdti hai ?

[@yourDIYneeds]

Lock ke andar ek microswitch hota hai , ya to uski wire loose ho gai hai ya , microswitch pe dust aa gai hai

[@yourDIYneeds]

Then most probably the light wiring is short somewhere with ground

Any idea how I can open the boot when the internal larch won't open it

[@yourDIYneeds]

Remove the seat back and swipe the keyblade in the lock slot

[@kylec1181]

@@yourDIYneeds I've tried, doesn't work

[@yourDIYneeds]

Sir , then the only way is to pull the door card on boot door from inside and unlatch the lock .

[@kylec1181]

@yourDIYneeds yeah I took that off and tried everything reasonable haha I think now i will have to be aggressive with it and make a mess

[@yourDIYneeds]

Sir after that , lock is easily accessible, you can just unbolt the lock from the boot door and then tackle it the way you want
