Arriving at my destination the rear door would not open from the outside intermittently.
02 passat will lock doors but not unlocking.
C locking was working but ds rear door not locking are unlocking then drivers door and ps rear doors jamed not to read more.
Door will not open.
I would have to use the remote or driver s door buttons to unlock the rear door.
Not really logical but thought worth the try.
Until 2 days later.
97 4 door passat centrail locking not working red light not flashing on drivers door.
Passat remote key not unlocking car.
My 2004 vw passat has an issue where the nearside rear door will not always open when the corresponding button is pressed on the car key.
The remote keys won t unlock the doors but will open the boot.
I left the inner door panel off so wife could drive it for a few days.
2 days later installed panel.
Ok everyone sort of a new issue.
Not starting then bashing the lock unlock buttons a few times.
Ordered an aftermarket lock assembly and replaced unit.
Locks work from the switch but not the remote.
This issue also indicates a bad lock actuator.
The door lock works in only one direction.
If this happens the problem is with the remote.
Tested door 4 times locking and opening from inside and out.
So i went into the mfd and changed the default from unlocking only the driver s door to unlocking all the doors.
