Hi Everyone:

I am still looking for a vag com guy or gal near philly. any help would be appreciated!

By the way am I crazy or does my driver's door sound different from the other 3 when I open and close it? All other doors have a gentle smooth pop sound and feel while driver door clicks. The dealership claims the cable is stretched more on that door than the other 3 doors from more use. My daughter who has an MK4 Jetta says its because the manual lock is on the driver's door. Any theories?
I think the cable is defective but I need some input.


thanks

martin

Here is a picture of how the door handle works. There's a cable that gets pulled when you open the door. I'm not 100% sure what problem you're describing - is it in the handle or in the door lock? The handle could get "worn in".

Door Handle

Hi Chitty:

The problem is the "feel" of both the inside of the car chrome pull on the door handle and the outside handle as well. They both just feel very different and the inside chrome handle when pulled does not release the door effortlessly the way the other 3 do. Any thoughts?
