A beautifully efficient and minimalist German door handle design (2016 Passat). The hook tool is needed for removing the handle cap only, for reinstalling, a small pocket screwdriver will do.

@@user-kc1tf7zm3b I would suggest going through the removal and replacement process in the video, and after you get the cap out, visually inspect it to see if it’s damaged or not. If it doesn’t seem to be damaged, try installing it again as per the video. Maybe it just had not been installed properly at some time. .

It should just push in once the cap is positioned correctly… if I am understanding properly what you mean by grub screw. This handle does not use a screw. Just a push in plunger to lock the cap on.

@eldigitom96804 ай бұрын
Honestly, I’m not even sure where to start on that. Sometimes we’ll get a car in with that situation and we just try a million different things trying to gain access. They make cars anymore where it’s almost impossible to remove that interior trim panel without ruining it and they are very expensive to replace. So I’m afraid I’m not very helpful with your door problem.✌🏻
@nickdabija27034 ай бұрын
thank you, I know that either the interior panel or handle will be destroyed but if I REMOVE THE HANDLE FROM OUTSIDE CONSIDERING TO BUY A NEW ONE AFTER , DO YOU THINK I CAN OPEN AND UNLOCK THE DOOR , AND AFTER THAT I COULD REMOVE NORMALLY THE INSIDE DOOR PANEL USING SCREWDRIVER AFTER DOOR IS OPEN ?; IN OTHER WORDS IF I FORCE , DRILL, DAMAGE THE HANDLE FROM OUTSIDE (NOT HAVING ACCES FROM THE SIDE DOOR) DO YOU THINK I CAN OPEN THE DOOR ?
@eldigitom96804 ай бұрын
if the outside handle is not opening the door now, breaking it off will only give you access to the same lever the handle moves. So, no I don't think it will help. Are you sure the door is unlocking? Is there a locking stem coming out the top of trim panel? Or bumping the key fob constantly not unlocking the door?@@nickdabija2703

Thanks for the video. I have a 2017 Passat and the passenger rear handle will not stay on the carrier, pulls off completely when the handle is pulled. Is this common? Is the repair typically replacing the handle or replacing the carrier inside the door? Do you have a part number for the carrier? Thanks again.
@eldigitom9680 Жыл бұрын
It still pulls out of the carrier even with the cap installed? There is a small L-shaped lip on the handle that catches the carrier lever, if it is sheared off, you’ll need a handle, but if not something in the carrier may be damaged. Sorry I don’t have a part number for that. There are several years and models that use this style. Good luck JV✌️

I can’t say for sure that it will be the same on all four doors but I imagine it will. This is a very common method of removing a door handle on Volkswagen and Audi products.

Have you tried opening it in every possible way? Key fob, inside switch, key at the handle? On most of these models if you pop off that plastic cap on the driver side door there is a slot for a key that you can use, it sounds as though it is not getting fully unlocked.
