Hi guys ,
I have a 2007 s3 3dr, for the last few months my drivers door lock has been giving me some trouble. Up until now I have ignored it but as the doors are going to have to be opened up to fit some replacement wingmirrors I felt I should address this issue as well.
Basically all doors will lock with the key fob . The issue is that 9 times out of 10 the drivers door wont unlock with the fob. I can open the door manually however and the fob can still be used to raise and lower both windows .
Has anyone had this issue ?
I've done some research and the general thought is the door mechanism needs replacing , I beleive the part number is 4e2837016 .
Before I buy one has anyone had the same problem ? If so how did they manage to sort it ? I was looking to buy the part from eBay but a part of me thinks it might be worth buying a new one to save future hassle . That being the case can anyone suggest a supplier (except audi !)
Your help would be appreciated
