door lock microswitch

Good Morning I have read all the threads re the T6 side and tailgate locking problem I think but have failed to sort my problems so looking for advice please. I have for some time had to unlock my side door from inside as it failed to unlock on the fob. I have to pull the internal handle three...

The central locking on my passenger front door has packed up today. I can still manually lock/unlock the door but the motor makes a fairly loud whirring sound when locking or unlocking on the fob or by the switch on the drivers side control. I haven’t taken the door card off yet, I’m minded to...

After 3 months of ownership, I've only just noticed that my T6.1 van has odd locks. There is a key hole on the passenger side and not the drivers side. Is this normal? I had a car broken into many years ago where the lock was essentially forced with a screwdriver. I'm guessing that modern...

I can lock my van using the fob and all the door lock as normal except the sliding door which remains open. I don't have any errors on VCDS, and on the screen it shows the door closed. The lock buttons by the mirror switch also doesn't work. When I press the lock switch, it tries to lock but...

Hi all after some help with my passenger door issue. I recently changed the crossover in the door and broke the plastic clip holding the door cable. I thought I'd repaired it and put everything back together, initially the door wouldn't close and it felt like the locking mechanism had closed...

Hi all, Need a bit of advice regarding the central locking and alarm on my 2015 T6 Highline panel van (140 6 speed). Yesterday I went to lock my van and noticed it wasn't locking from the fob. I thought it was the battery in the fob first of all, but when i went to locked via the key the...

Today the van was locked up on my drive and then suddenly the alarm went off. I looked out of the window and the courtesy lights were on. Turned the alarm off, but it wouldnt reset. Went into the van and the icon in the display was showing the van with the drivers door open and wont go out...

With some help from Willoughby (thanks, Kevin!), I've installed a door lock/unlock switch near my 2017 T6's sliding door. This lets me more easily lock the van when I'm sleeping in it, without arming the alarm system. It makes it much easier for my kids sleeping on the roof bunk to reach down...

Hi, just wondering if anyone can shed some light on a little problem I have with my drivers door. When I unlock the van with the central locking button (from the outside) when I pull the handle to open the door it never works first time, always have to operate it again to open it. Anyone know...

I know this has been covered before,( I think I have even posted about my problems before), but I have yet again had problems with the locks on the rear barn doors of my van not opening. Does anyone have a long term solution? I have had the van in 3 times to the dealer, the last time they...

Hello everyone, I'm brand new here having received my T6.1 yesterday. During the walk-around everything worked but this morning I tried to open the rear Barn Doors and I heard the mechanism go but nothing happened. Being an engineering sort, I took the ply lining covering the mechanism off and...

I have had a intermittent problem with the rear,( barn style), door not unlatching. The van is an 18 plate which I bought last February from a main dealer. I had it in a week ago to the same dealer that said it just needed adjustment. This worked up until yesterday but now the problem has come...

I’ve asked and I see a few others also asked about removing the rear mechanism to sound proof and insulate the door. Most have decided not to, fo good reason - it looks complex! Nothing ventured, nothing gained - I decided to give it a go this morning; I played around with a few clips and...

Sliding door not unlocking any ideas lock is hit and miss. Sometimes it works not all the time

Hi All, Which part number for number 19 do I need for a LH sliding door. How do I decode the numbers for left/right? --><!-- Do I need 7H0843613A or 7E5843613 The ebay listing claims it's only to 2010 which doesn't seem right? VW Transporter T5 sliding door lock guide catch - bracket...

Hi Guys, I have factory fitted power latching on the tailgate but it’s stopped working, causing the tailgate to rattle as it doesn’t seem to close, I’ve hoovered our all round the latch but still no joy and the thought of a trip across Manchester to the main dealer doesn’t fill me with joy -...

Dear all First time post, could anyone give me any guidance on my t6 2016 plate mfd display indicating that the tailgate is not closed despite being shut. The audio beeping is every time I hit a bump and driving me crazy. I can’t find any adjustment and if a new Microswitch is needed is this an...

Hello again. Battery and auxiliary belt all sorted now (see my previous thread if required) and I also mentioned that the read barn doors were working intermittently, i.e, would sometimes unlock with a single press on the key fob, sometimes would need two presses. The girl on the service desk...

Hi folks, having had the above activated by @Pauly at Camper Jam in July, it's worked absolutely fine. Lately however, as I get to 'locking' speed, it rapidly locks, unlocks, locks, unlocks and clunks around (I think the record is six or eight cycles) until it finally locks. Any ideas what may...

Hi all Has anyone had any issues with their sliding door not unlocking on both the fob and drivers door switch. I’m having intermittent problems, sometimes it works okay and other times it doesn’t. When it doesn’t and I’m driving the auto lock clicks a few times as if it can’t lock it or...
