Passenger Door Doesn't Open From Outside

[Guest Mr Mark]

I have a 53 plate HDI VTR with the following issue.....

 

Passenger door can only be unlocked from the inside.

 

Once the door has been opened from the inside, it will then operate fine from the outside, opening and closing.

 

When I unlock from the key fob, I can here a clicking sound coming from the passenger door.

 

The passenger door still locks via the key fob

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

This is the cheapest option so lets start with that

Sounds like the central locking motor is in need of some lubricating. remove the door card and squirt the lock mechanismn/central locking motor in fact squirt everything with wd40 you cant damage anything and just keep operating the central locking. Try to get the straw that comes with the wd right into the cenral locking motor

Cheers buddy

 

I will give that a try at the weekend.

Is it easy to get the door card off?

[coastline taxis]

yes about 8 screws and torxs

 

1 in door opening handle

2 in door closing handle(handle panelgrip splits in 2 for acsess_

1 on side of panel next to door lock

1 behind panel next to mirror(black triangular shape plastic just pulls off)

remove speaker mesh and theres 3 or 4 holding speaker in and then 2 behind speaker(push bottom of mesh up and pull outwards)

if ive remembered corectly and its niether a hard or dirty job
