FTO AUSTRALIA

Hey all im having a problem with my central locking, the passenger door doesn't lock or unlock. all i get is a twitch from the button.
anyone had this problem, anyone know how to fix it.

cheers.

Yee, I got the same problem for my passinger door.
Sometimes it unlockes, sometimes doesnt. Also, never lockes.
I went inside the door, cleaned and lubricate everything, but this didnt solve my problem.
Today I saw an article about this issue, about putting a new motor in, see how you go. If this works, let me know, I will try as well.

hey i had the same prob when i 1st got my car ,,,, it was the small motor in the door that locks/unlocks the doors that was the problem, had it replaced for $50 when i had my alarm fitted.... good as new

hope dat helps!!!

Hey YLD-FTO,
do you know which motor did they use to change with?
Is it the same as original or some other one which will do the same job?
And where can we get this from.
It is really ennoying that have to unluck and lock the door manually all the time.

Ah, one of the common FTO problems. If you do search on this forum you'll find a number of thread which cover this topic, why it happens, how to reduce the risk of it, what to do to fix it and other info which you might not of though of.

hey mxysexy, i read that article sounds tricky to do, going to
keep looking, i'll let you know if i find anything.
sh*t yeah its annoyning unlocking the door manually

ummm... this is a well documented and common problem with the FTO. Mxysxy has provided you with a link with the relevent information, likewise there are a number of threads on this forum which cover this problem.

I don't understand why you are going to "keep looking" when the info in right in front of you?

Perhaps if you get a little more specific as to what you're hoping to find we can help point you to the specific information.

talk about central lock hmm ... mine one got stuck somehow i couldn't lock or unlock my car, then i use too much force, now i break the plastic and it can lock and unlock with alarm .... is there anyway to repair only the plastic part or if i have to replace one anyone have any ideas on this?

hey .... he just used another new motor , no genuine parts just the ones he had in supply, works perfectly goodluk
