Y reg 1.4 Polo-drivers door sometimes won't open from the inside

The drivers door sometimes won't open from the inside. If I turn the ignition to put battery on it will work again usually or sometimes if I put the window down but otherwise I have to reach out and open it from the outside. This doesn't happen every time but is an annoying intermittent fault and wondering if there is an easy solution.

SOURCE: window fell down on 2001 polo

Sorry I see that it is a Jetta, the window has 2 tabs that are glued to the bottom of the glass these will likely need to be rebonded.

My key won't go into ignition on my 2007 jetta

Try moving wheel back and forth while putting key in. Or if thats not it, take a screw driver flathead and try to turn ignition both ways just a bit. Sometimes those key cylinders dont go back into the open key position. Try that as you are moving the whhel as well. but my car does the same thing in the cold, and a screw driver seems to do it every time. Good luck let me know how you make out. PS Im guessing that ther is not something stuck inside ignition?? Good luck

Anti theft light won't go out

There are 2 things to try:
1) Use your key to manually unlock the driver's side door - sometimes this alone is enough to reset your security system.
2) Put your key in the ignition and turn to ON position (do not try to start the car, just turn to ON)- after 30 seconds, attempt to start the car and see if the security light goes out.

I cant find the fuse box on mt t reg vw polo

the box in the engine compartment is right next to the battery, the one on the inside passenger compartment is on the side of the driver side panel, you have to open the driver side door and on the side of the steering wheel panel the should be a cover thats part of the panel, just pop it out with flat head screwdriver gently so you dont leave any scratches and youll see the fuses

VW Polo 2001 - Electric Windows wont open from Drivers side..

I removed all 3 switches from driver and passenger door, which is really easy with a flat head screw driver. took them completely apart, very carefully, with a small screwdriver out of a christmas cracker. put them back together again and 2 switches started working, so I put 1 in the drivers side and 1 in the passengers side so now my drivers door window opens and I lean over to open the passenger door. cool, no money spent...yet ;o)

Program a remote key for 03 A6

I have an A4 and did this to re-program my key:

1. used the key to start the car...then turned it off
2. put the key in the driver door (door closed)
3. pressed the lock button on the key fob once
4. turned the key to lock the door.

This is basically the steps in the owners manual, but the car must be started with the key first, and the key must be in the door lock before pressing the lock button.
