Dead battery - cannot open doors t6.1

[TheGrapeEscape]

The doors have most likely been replaced and lock barrels not been changed that’s why the key will not work.

A lock smith may be able to pick the lock.

As someone suggested earlier, dig down under a wheel or under a sill and get a low profile jack then get access to the starter and attach jump leads.

The jack is my 2nd choice.

I've just had delivered a low profile electric jack. Even if to get it high enough to slide underneath. I'm praying today is a success, its been sat still 5 weeks

Good luck, where is it so we can all come and watch?

We all love a challenge, this is where the forum comes into its own. Asking for advice and others coming up with ideas that we would not have thought about ourselves.

I do really appreciate everyone's advice on here. I think the challenge is because it's aired out. If this was on regular suspension, it would be an easy fix.....but where's the fun in that

The pic above of the van shows a key barrel on the driver's door.... So assumed T5-T6.0

As the T6.1 has the key barrel in the passenger side only... IE drivers side in Europe for ze Germans.(And no key in the rest doors)

Success

Don't keep us in suspense....

Some maybe but not all.

Mine is a T6.1 and it is on the drivers door.

What year is yours?

 

[whodat]

But what happens if you leave your Qwork in your van when the battery stops working and the doors won't open?

 

[TheGrapeEscape]

Bonnet catch?

My 2021 6.1 Kombi is on the passenger door but wasn’t connected to the lock from the factory- you could turn the key but nothing happened!! Only discovered this after about a year. All fixed under warranty.

Had to go and test mine after you said that.

Works no problem.

What about the key in the door lock.?

What about the key in the door lock.?

Didn't work. Was completely deadlocked. He's got two different fobs. One for door and one for ignition. It started life as an 07 plate shuttle

The key blade in the door lock barrel...?
