I cannot lock my car with the key from the outside. (not central locking)?
I have a W reg VW polo (Mark III facelift 00-02) and i recently installed some new speakers,finished that job but then i noticed that the front drivers door lock doesnt work properly.
Basically i cant lock the drivers door with the key from the outside, however i can unlock it with the key from the outside. The door still locks from the inside so the barrel cant be broken.
Is the lock broke or have I just knocked something off when messing around with the speakers??|||The linkage from the key to the locking mechanism probably needs to be adjusted. It is reached by removing the panel from the inside of the door.|||Well there's no way you can fix the lock without getting to it.
If this was my car, i'd take the door panels off the inside of each door.
Look at both of them, the door that locks properly is what your other door should look like.
What you see that's different is what is wrong with it.

Remote Central locking problem?
The remote central locking on my Renault Laguna RT seems to be very weak, i'm having to put the keyfob up against the window and it takes between 4-10 times before the car locks/unlocks any idea what could be wrong? I'd like to be able to unlock/lock the car from a distance and not have to stand at the window for ages pressing the button.|||I don't know the age of the car, so there for the age of the key, but it could possibly be as simple as a new battery in the key itself.|||yeah, charles is right, I'd bet its the fob battery or at least a dodgy connection inside it, batteries are cheap try a new one
How can i open my car door if the Central Lock not working?
When I used my remote control to unlock my car today, it doesnt work, then i tried to use my spare remote control. It is still not working.
If I use my key to open the door directly, the security alarm would active (beep). cos i cant use the remote control to unlock it.
Now my car is still in my friend's car park and i cant drive my car to repair~~ anyone tell me how to do pls|||Isn't technology great?
If you unlock it by using the key, as soon as you start the car, the alarm should turn off.
Otherwise, have it towed to your dealer.|||Open the car with your key. Your alarm will sound. Open the hood and find a power wire to your alarm system and disconnect the alarm.
Many times, that would be enough to get you going. If the alarm is design so that it would disable the car if disconnected, then you have to find the wire that grounds the power to distributor (or whatever else it does to disable the car). But at least with the alarm disconnected you'll have breathing time to work on the car.|||First you should try replacing the batteries in the remotes. they are simple watch batteries found at pretty much any watch store. If that doesn't work then just open the hood (the alarm will go off unfortunaly) and undo the battery cables and accessory cables. That should kill the power to the alarm. Then only put the main battery cables( the two big ones) back on with out the accessory cables. That will get the car to start and the alarm will be unpowered. You can then take it to a repair shop and have them look at the alarm system.|||Is this a factory installed or after market alarm system. Does your key have a chip in it to start the car? If it is factory then you open the door with the key you have so long to start it before the alarm goes off. You might just have a dead battery in your car to.(Not enough volt/current) to activate the locks and start the car.But the alarm will still go off.

Central locking keeps on poping up everytime i lock my car?
vauxhall vectra 04 model|||Re-check all your doors and boot are closed properly.
If it still does it you have a solenoid faulty. |||hello this happend to me and it was the batery in my case |||Probably the drivers door lock is faulty, either the lock isn't fully engaging or the sensor that detects a properly closed door is at fault. This is intended to prevent you pressing the button while getting out of the car and slamming the locked door closed without the keys in your hand
