What to do if the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 6 is not working?
Years 2008-2012

Answer

If the car doesn't open or close completely, the first suspect is definitely the remote control. You can try changing the button battery inside it - using one of our tutorials - and almost certainly solve the problem. If instead it's only one of the doors that doesn't open or close, then it's a mechanical problem, and the internal panel of the door will need to be removed and the mechanism checked. Again, we invite you to use our tutorials.
