Seat Leon Cupra 1.8 2002 - Unable to open OS rear door, code 00931 - Fixed #

Posted by Peter Warman on March 29, 2011, 10:48 am

Year of Manufacture *: 2002
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 1.8

Hi All

This came in for service, customer also asked me to have a look at OS rear door as it would not open plus they had broken the handle on the outside

Checked with VCDS

0091 - Locking module for central locking; rear Right (F223) 27-00 Implausible signal

So the door handle outside and inside will not work

My question is has any one managed to get a door panel off while the door is shut? or any other way to open (clutching at straws ). I cannot see any way without causing some damage. Just want to give the customer some idea of whats involved

Thanks

Peter

I have done a golf like this, door panel came off with no damage, but if yours is like the one I did, you will have to smash the electric part of the motor off the mechanism to pop the door open.
New mechanism was quite reasonable I thought, at about £100 + from TPS.
Allow a fair amount of labour though, as mine took ages to crack.

No easy way round this one!

HTH,
Liam.

Hi Peter,
One of our guys has just had the same issue on a golf and he drilled a hole somewhere on the door after the card was removed, will have a word with him tommorow and post exactly where it was and what he did.

Carl

Thanks Lads

I had another look this afternoon and managed to get the door panel off and the card

I could not see any other way other than as Liam suggested, so I left for the time being as I did not want to cause any damage to bodywork

Hi Lads

Thank you for the info and the calls

In the end I opted for the "Air line Chisel" option

I put the chisel on the Module and 10 seconds later the door popped open.......result

New parts on order

Thanks again

Peter

Looks like I have Polo to look at next week with the same problem. Evidently the door would open occaisonally but she didn't call until it wouldn't open at all, Doh!

Hi Peter. After reassembly, Close the latch several times and lock it and unlock it a few times to make sure that it releases properly, Most likely it will, but theres nothing worse than shutting the door and finding out that its jammed shut again.

All done, give yourself plenty of time with no interuptions preferably

Tested central locking before closing door

Thanks again for all the advise

Peter
