Door Lock Module Repair - Seat Leon 1m / Toledo 2 - Part 2

In this tutorial I will show you, how to disassemble and repair the (front - right) door lock module.
This is a common problem with this type of door lock modules for cars of this generation (Seat Leon 1m, Toledo 2, Vw Golf 4, Bora, Skoda Octavia 1, and other cars...)
You should check the door lock switch to, the one with blue and red wires (0:35).

Thanks for the instructional video for taking the lock apart, though I had to slow the speed as my lock was for the opposite side. As it turned out we suspected a worn micro switch though on testing the switch was fine the button didn’t seem excessively worn but built it up with some beer can aluminium and super glue just in case and used a belt hole punch to create a nice small round dome for it. After checking the circuit board all connections look ok tested for continuity all ok. Connected a 9v battery to the motor worked but not when in the car and struggled without any loading so blasted switch cleaner in any apertures and wd 40 on the shaft and ran the motor back and forth until it worked instantaneously both directions. Re-Assembling the lock proved a challenge but eventually tried the key fob lock and unlock and voila Success! I now know this lock inside out so to all out there if no sign of damage elsewhere the motor can get a bit dry and stiff due to lack of use (lack of front passenger means you only need to unlock drivers door). ‘‘This was all on a 2004 Skoda fabia vrs luckily VW share a lot of parts from their group. One tip though be careful and patient with the M and torx screws as using the wrong heads will strip the insides, we experienced this and used a left hand extractor screw which amazingly worked. Keep up the videos they are well filmed I’m sure some people never look at the start of theirs as sometimes all you see are hands or blurred subjects but yours are videos very well. Reminds me of a tip I was once given, I had
a non functioning boot lid lock on a Passat, told to open boot lid spray wd40 and leave to trickle in push key in and manually lock/unlock several times, the keyless lock should now work, again this is down to using the keyless option all the time and the lock becoming dry. Wonder what is in-store for us next.
