The driver's door of my 1995 Mk3 Golf flew opem going around a corner. The door will not close properly now and it needs a lot of effort with both the key and pushing down the door button to get the lock to engage, but the door doesn't close snugly or lock fully. The car has mechamical locke (i.e. not central locking). Any ideas on what I need to do?

There is no fuse, but try Relay No. 4. You may need an auto electrician if that doesn't work.

you have just found this out.it is a standard feature of all vw/audi/seat/skoda cars
unlock/hold key over,the windows will go down
lock/hold key over the windows will go up
then unlock the car with the remote,car reset.
sit in car with engine on,switch off engine(do not open any door)driver can open/close any window(you can even put your hand into window frame and it will rollback,all on its(not for fun)
if windows rollback after you have used button to close them you may have sticky runners/rubbers.
this is not in the hand book,tell all your friends.....only a german car.....

Stick a screw driver in where it would normally wrap around striker at door, pull handle and it should flip open there to allow closing. When working properly, it should snap back on its own when handle pulled so I'd give it lots of lube to see if it will start working properly.

Check the latch mechanism on the door. There is a piece of the latch that closes around the clasp on the door frame. sometimes this closes when the door is open and you can't shut the door. Take a screw driver and flip this latch piece open and close the door.

My '96 Jetta had the same issue...I was told bad head gasket...well my car never warmed up more than around 160 degrees....come to find the thermostat was shot...replaced it, now it hits 190 and no more foam in the rocker cover...GL!

You will find hidden screws behind things like switch panels and handles and handle covers. after you have remove usually around 4-5 screws/bolts the panel will come off either by lifting it straight up or will have door panel plugs that you will pop straight out.

If you mean the clutch cable its self adjusting I'm afraid.

i had the same problem. After checking the window motor was not the problem i then checked the wiring harnes in the door. I beeped out all the connectors to make sure there were no broken wires and cleaned up all the contacts. The main connector looked quite corroded. I sprayed all the connectors with rust check and reassembled. The window is working fine now

hi there, it will be one of two ways, either theres a little horse shoe shaped clip that sits inbetween the winder and the door panel, failing that then the middle of the winder should flick out and there will be a screw that screws through the winder and into the panel, hope this helps

It may be the fuel filter try having it replaced
