hello friends welcome back to author
resource YouTube channel you are looking
with me on 2007 Jetta 2.5 which I have
recently purchased from coal park at the
salvage title due to the damage on the
side you can see it here right and
obviously it's a used vehicle old also
with other problems and when I got
delivered the vehicle and opened the
trunk on top of all of it there were
these three lock assemblies
I knew the driver door was opening right
correctly and the passenger too but both
rear doors were stuck and couldn't have
been opened either from outside or
inside
let me demonstrate for that easy
demonstration I put the windows down
right so if you grab this handle and
listen you can hear clicking here but it
won't open will let me demonstrate the
outside handle also the range how far it
goes so this is what's happening and no
matter how much you play with the door
locks which are here right so you will
lock it and try to unlock it multiple
times right you can hear the locks
correctly working listen to that right
it does its job that door is stuck and
the other one was too thanks to the
fellow youtubers I was able to fully
understand this problem which seems to
be absolutely common and I was able
already to repair that problem on my
driver side let me show you so it took
me a while to figure it out
I look at this right this opens
correctly makes the same sound all right
this is correctly pulling let me show
you also write it perfectly opens I mean
trust me I'm not making it up both rear
a very stuck if I lock it right it will
correctly work neither outside handle
neither in a fatal actually inner open
sit and that's correct I apologize the
fact that inner opens it even lift the
lock that's correct and I have very good
news for you to be able to open this
door finally I just need it little pick
and I will show you how easy it is so
with little screwdriver or a little pick
you will be working right here in this
area this was already open so let me go
and show report demonstrate it on the
other side which you can see it's still
stuck back still the same I looked at
the situation here and I will try my
best to show you the most detail
possible without getting in your way or
the camcorder right so either small
screwdriver or the pic or whatever you
want to use you need to lift this tab
this way that will release the cable
which is attached to this handle and it
will disconnect from this and also this
handle will be not working anymore
look at
carefully pushed it in I look at this
handle it's not working anymore the
table it's loose and I will go to the
step number two so this is this right
right it makes that weird sound popping
and what's the step number two well I
will put this tripod away and all I have
to do to grab the interior don't have
door handle and open the door believe it
or not it will work I bet you it will
look at that this is first time since I
became owner of this vehicle that this
door is open and that's not just a fluke
or a one-time thing right I will
demonstrate it again so right now the
good news you can open the door and you
have access to the areas which will help
you to fix this problem the bad news the
problem is not fixed right you still
can't get it from outside let's just
confirm right I will lock this vehicle
so now I owe it will open it right so
everything works I can unlock it again
right I'm just showing you that it
really works nothing perfect so let's go
together and kind of explain what is
happening here so I have all these
shocks I put away to the front and these
are two rears I can see that from this
car right because there is a 28th of May
2007 it's a 2007 right fiery this one
the date again Oh what is it 2605 oh
seven right so in Europe
you put the day first than the month
standard so these have to be the
originals
and they've a little bit help me to show
you why is it malfunctioning this is the
lever where the cable from outside the
door handle is going on look at this one
I don't know why this one was replaced
but you pull on the outside door handle
and then you let go and this handle
needs to go all the way back so called
reset and only after that the inner
handle or the outside handle can work
again this one is from the other side
clever they'll go out but it will not
reset for some reason all the way back
right it will not do that the whole
mechanism it's not reset for another
opening and it's becoming stuck the
little of wire which goes to outside
handle it's still there it didn't break
it keeps pulling but this part didn't
return all the way correctly right it's
hanging somewhere and the reset didn't
happen and the door cannot be open from
inside or outside and if that gives you
a little bit idea right what are you
dealing with that's the explanation
it's another complicated thing from
Germany right German engineers they have
all these great ideas when its brand new
it works perfectly but when it's getting
old
it makes all kinds of problems and
unfortunately such a repair is costly so
now you know if you had the same
situation right there can be different
reasons why you cannot open one of the
doors but this one was either in either
outer handle where I'm working yet we
could hear the central locking system
correctly working right so now you know
how to do the first step in repairs I
will show that repair in different video
on this channel but I would like
give you at least one hand don't you try
to go as usually as other makers will
let you repair that which means removing
door panel and accessing the locks and
accessing the motor for the window and
so on don't you try to use what you
learn in the past because it won't work
here
the Chairman's right from the audience
fold swag and they said hey let's put
everything upside down and change
everything
so if you remove this door panel you
will get access to nothing speaker maybe
right everything else has to be accessed
actually with removing that door skin
this entire part has to be removed right
to gain access to all these components
which normally in passed or on different
vehicles are always accessed from here
from behind the door panel so as I said
please subscribe I learned all of it on
this door right you can see that
perfectly works and I will make sure I
will film that repair without replacing
anything I will film it on the other
door so please subscribe you don't miss
that thank you for watching and have a
great day my friend
