How To Remove and Replace Door Lock Module VW Golf Bora Jetta MK4 

Very good video, everything went smoothly by following these instructions. Special thanks for mentioning the small but crucial details (like the outside handle cable alignment and supporting the window).

Mate, you're a bloody life saver. Appreciate your time making this video. Just got the passenger side done on my 01 4Mo Bora in under an hour thanks to you. Cheers

Your car is in such a good condition. I'm a bit envious. Good Job!

Brilliant video.. just completed on my Golf after following these steps.. All went smoothly.. thanks man.

One thing this also fixes is the fuel pump primes for a couple seconds when you open the driver's door. Although it seemed to have no impact on it running, it was nice to fix that. Thanks for the video! Mine had also started to not lock without using the key, it was in rough shape haha.

Thanks for the advice! Got my MK4 R32 done with the same instructions! Cheers!

Hi there - I’m reaching out to say thank-you so much for taking the time to make this very helpful video - I followed it & successfully replaced faulty door lock today & everything worked 🥳. Only error I made was completely removing window glass securing bolts rather than just loosening them till glass was removable. Had to take apart again as couldn’t get thread to connect with inner panel mounted - but sorted it out. Very great full - all the important points you made were well considered and appreciated. Cheers

Excellent video bro!!! Did my 05 VR6 today. Great job man!

Really good, thanks a lot. I need to fix my lock soon. Now I am looking forward to doung it after your awesome tutorial.

Thanks a bunch mate, really helped me out

Been wondering how to do this on my Bora, thanks!

Great work Sir 👍 thank you I bought a new Mk4 wagon 2005 1,6 roll 136000 km and I have the same problem now I can fixed it

Thanks mate - good video

Thanks - exactly the video I needed. What a complete nightmare disassembly, just to replace a £10 cable!

Thanks for the video. Do you know what is the exact type of the "tight" screws on @6:58? I stripped both of them and I'll need to extract and buy some new ones. 😢 Thanks

any idea why still nort working the stick haveerection though lock/un lock on buttons bought new the doorlock pin not moving with centrallocking can it be loose or another faulty, manual key blade locking working cheers m8 great video :)

Thanks for the video! My 01 TDI electric door lock hasn't been working for a long time and my car bhas been broken in a few times now. This part is the electronic lock, right?

great video pal! my driver side courtesy light isnt coming on ive checked connections and its all fine and ive linked up to VCDS and both modules either side are faulty...do i need a new key if i replace the module or is the barrel going to stay the same?

Good video!! But, can u pls tell me which screws did u use instead rivets for inner door panel?

Hi, I have a mk4 & need to do the rear door actuator, at first it was locking & unblocking but now it is locked and I can't unlock it at all, do you have any suggestions how to get the door open so I can do the job?

Great video , question to ask when changing door lock is it best to disconnected battery or does it not matter

Do you think likely same issue for me, ie Door Module? In my case, key simply doesn't turn in the lock. I have to open passenger side and reach across to unlatch in morning, push button down from inside to lock at night. Elsewise all good. Tried lubricating lock barrel, no joy.

How long does this job take?

Great tutorial. Much better suggestion to leave the window in and tape it rather than fully removing it. And also with just loosening the bolts that fasten the window rather than removing them. Is your new actuator OEM or did you get an ebay version? The cost difference is so high I'm thinking it might the risk with an ebay version worth it.

Hi sir. When u replace this. Does it need coding to the car or is it plug and play

Hi Rob. I assume it is the same procedure for the passenger door? Or is there anything significantly different. Thanks and great video

Hi Rob, I have an issue with my mk4 golf git. The passenger lock wont lock/unlock with the remote central locking. It locks/unlocks fine with the key in the door. Will replacing the door lock module fix my issue do you think? TIA

Nice easy fix, haha, I've replaced engine heads and it was simpler then this i swear

Any idea why my lock isn't working? I replaced the lock actuator, but now my lock doesn't do anything when I turn my key. It can't lock or unlock.

My doors open and close just fine, but two doors have locks that won't lock/unlock with remote or buttons. They have to be manually pushed down or unlocked by using the door handle from inside. Is replacing the actuators the only solution? Thanks!

Oy, why does your dimmer have 2 adjusters? That a euro option?

Volkswagen said it will cost me £1300 to fix my windows going down on their own on my 2004 golf because needs to replace all door locks and window motors. That seems a bit much for all that to be done seeings as door lock is going for £34 on eBay

That does no look easy....
