Long shot, but I know there are a few owners on here... my aged but faithful Octavia has just broken its door handle mechanism - driver's door won't open from the inside. This was preceded by a period when the catch made a sharper clank when you slammed the door.
Anyone had the same? Easy way to fix?
might be work checking in the [url= http://briskoda.net/ ]briskoda forums[/url].
From my petrolhead mate and Octavia nut,
take door card off
he'll need a set of torx
and some plasters
tell him to buy haynes
not as a "go away"
but as it has a good section on door card removal
try not to break clips
if you do break one or two, I wouldn't worry
check / grease window regulator while there
as they fail, dad has had two go
check door mechanism rod
they come unhooked / break / need adjusting
Thanks chaps.
I did join briskoda, and found an answer straight away - broken rod, cheaply available on ebay, common problem. Also found a very good pictorial guide to removing door trim.
Thanks again.
Cougar, it's just a shame you didn't set that to piano.
*snort* fool. (-:
It's formatted like that cos it's C&Ped from a conversation on Messenger, couldn't be buggered to tidy it up.
