Thanks so much. You did a good job. I got my actuator done in less than 2 hours, and everything works. Without your video, I wouldn't have known what i was up against or where to start. Thanks so much. Tom from Canada

Thank you, Sir! Without your video i would toetally mess everything up!

Excellent video. Very very clear instructions.

Thank you for this tutorial! A shop wanted $400 to change out this part.

Just wanted to say thank you! Jetta same year and door wouldn’t lock. I followed the exact steps to replace the actuator in the video and now it’s fixed!

Thank you for making this video. I have a 2014 Jetta and I'll probably be replacing both rear door lock actuators in the spring.

Thank you brother, I do appreciate taking the time to share this vid.

I'm very grateful to you for this video. Have a 2013 Beetle with the same module. Couldn't figure out the outside door latch cable...which you figured out in seconds. Awesome dude. Thanks so much. BTW, the dust cover is NOT on my Beetle.

Thank you for the video! You have a great way of explaining things and have no gimmicks. So thank you :)

Thank you. Wouldn't have been able to do this without your video.much appreciated

Thanks for posting this video. It saved me a lot of time when I had to replace the rear door lock actuator on my Jetta.

This helped me change the lock actuator in my front passenger door! And for half the price of taking it to get fixed. Thanks so much! The noise was driving me insane!

Thank you sir, for this video! Totally agree, not enough of these on the internet! And these lock actuator modules fail like crazy! I've had three fail in my car so far (2012 GLI), insane...

great video man, i had the same issue on my rear left door on a 2013 jetta the locking and unlocking was driving me crazy, managed to get a new actuator for about 100 bucks, and thanks to your video and the tips i was able to do the job myself, thanks again and keep the videos coming 🖒🖒🖒

Thank you so much. This video was great. I can tell you how much I appreciated this video. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this My tool list T20 torx bit with a long handle T30 torx with a long handle Triple spline square socket set and wrench Plastic trim removal tools Lock actuator.

I have the same door issue on the same side. Thank you. Now I gotta buy the part

Thanks for the video. I got one of those multi bit sets from Harbor that has the M bits, T’s, hex, square etc for like $12.

Thanks for the vid, I can finally rest at ease going over 5mph now lol

Thanks man your video helped me out so much very easy to understand listening to you. Keep making videos

Thank You so much for the Video, it was useful for my Škoda Octavia 3 for changing the rear actuator…

Thank you very much for the video. Its a great video and great explenation. I have the same problem but rear left door.

Thanks for the vid! Have same issues mk6 Jetta 2013. One quick question the actuator I bought from Ebay doesn't come with the latch cable on top should I attach the old cable to the new one?

Thank you great video 👍👍👍

Thanks, had the same issue. Had to come back to see that to get the cable off, just twist.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Mind to know the OBD tool you used for the scanning?

Thanks for the info ...your right there is nothing on mk6. Where did you get the old 11 reader?

Good video!

What size is the triple square bit? I have a set but it doesn’t work.

Excellent video man!! One question, did you programmed the new actuator with the VIN number?

Thanks for video very helpful

What was the part number? This a great video, I need to replace my left rear actuator

Thanks for making this, it helped a lot.

This is awesome now I can fix my girls car door actuator. Thanks. Has your horn gone out?

On my 2012 Jetta, the doors don't have that open space like yours does. Just a little space to barely get my hand in.

looks like i have the same problem. Thanks for the video, will follow your steps. Lot of trouble just to fix the door lock. Nothing is simple about fixing german car, idiots could have provided a manual lock, just in case.

Thank you sir, you saved me $200 by not having to go to the dealer

Thanks for posting an MK6 video since this is the first one for this repair. I have a problem with my front door which is not the same as the rear. The distance from the opening and to the actuator are further. Any chance you know of someone who did the front driver door? I could not find any videos of it.

How you take the stripped triple square screw out? I stripped mines also

My 2012 gti front passenger door will not stay closed, the latch mechanism isn’t working. Just removed this actuator from the door - which my gti did not have that extra panel hole to work through, sure wish it did!!! Gonna be real hard to put back 🤯😭

Could you please write what exactly bits are needed? Thank you!

Impressive

Is this the same on the vw golf 2012 mk6?

Does the door lock switch on the right rear door have anything to do with the switch the driver uses to lock all the doors because when I press the button I hear all the locks click but when I go and check the doors the right rear door does not lockSo chances are it would be the actuator and not just the switch itself

Thank you for the video! My wife has this car and I need to replace it. Any links on where one can find the part?

My golf does this the door will lock if you close the door after you’ve locked the car but it’s still a pain

Nice video man, I have the same problem , thanks to u ill change it out my self , how do u scan the car for errors ? Cheers

No faults, until you get a bad intake runner flap lol.. nice video tho

So there is no way of locking door until I replace the actuator ??

Has anyone had trouble removing the rear lock on a b6 Passat. Ill be tricked how to get the damn thing out after its unbolted and loose.

14:55 😂🤣

Would be nice if better visuals!

Your cover is missing

common problem I see

ah yes, made in mexico.. quality German
