Ashley Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 The front passenger door button goes up with all the others but when you try and open the door it drops a little and you can not open the door, if you use the key it will open, but if you open and close it 2/3 times the same thing happens, I have sprayed all moving parts with oil, but it has not made any difference with or without the door card on, I have also tried moving the actuator unit backwards and forwards a little on the bracket, any help will be greatly appreciated as I have run out of ideas. I have a 1993 RR TDI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEANO3528 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Sounds like the over centre spring has broken. Ebay sell them for Disco, but I think they are the same part for your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that DEANO3528, The workshop manual does not show a spring (as far as I can see), is it in the door release (the handle part)or is it the lock (the bit that keeps the door shut) Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEANO3528 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 It's inside the lock mechanism itself. Have a look on eBay for these springs as I'm sure I've seen some with pictures explainng where they fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
