Re: Problem with door handles on 2000 Golf GLS (kirkinner)
I'm convinced you're having the same identical problem I experienced with my 2.0 Jetta. I took my car in 3 times for the same problem. The first the two times, the tech who worked on my car was obviously an idiot, because he kept telling me the door handle was working fine and there was no problem.
They were incoherent to the fact that the door lock was the problem and not the handle. The dealership never bothered to dig a little deeper and look at the entire door. So, finally the third time, I approached the supervisor and he looked at it himself and realized it was the lock.
At this time, I was outside of my warranty. Since, I had documented the problem earlier in my warranty, they had no option but to fix it. Lesson here,,,always report even the smallest problem.
Anyhoot, adjustments or whatever they claimed they did to your car will not fix it. Let them know the lock absolutely needs to be replaced. Here's the part number if necessary. 3B1-827-016-BH
FC (this was next to the part number, so I don't know if they'll need it) 5718400002
Good luck and let me know if you need any help.
Peace
