I have an issue with the drivers interior door handle. It clicked when I opened the door and is now a little wobbly.

I read on a forum somewhere that it is broken and a part needs to be replaced.

Does anyone know what it is please ?

I'm off down to the dealer at lunchtime today and would like to get one.


Thanks in advance

David

No one ?

hi Dave,
not sure the problem sorry but maybe the diagram can shed some light? or if someone knows the part they can tell you the number on this.

David, the best way might be to take the door panel off and have alook whats broken or come away? It only takes few minutes to remove the whole door panel.

Thanks guys, that diagram looks complicated

I will remove the panel and take the broken bit to the local dealer.

i recon its got to be something either the rod (28) or the thing that holds the actual lever in place would that be (29), like you say take it apart and see whats broke

Could be that the door 'trigger' retaining spring has popped off. Mine was loose when I bought the car as the spring was missing. I guess if it has popped off you may be able to find it inside the door and put it back on.

I bought a whole replacement door trigger assembly (it comes with the tweeter speaker holder as well) from VAG Parts and it was only around £20 from memory.

The door card is simple to remove, I've never owned a car where it's been so easy. One screw at either end at the top and one behind the pull handle. Then it just lifts off, taking care with all the electrical connections of course.

I have the same problem with mine....Sometimes it does, sometimes not!! I think there is a spring inside and it must be " Kapput"!!! Will fix it when i have some spare time

David, Did you ever get to the bottom of this?

I heard a twang from my drivers door handle today... it's now a little looser than the passenger one

Thanks

Nope, keep meaning to, but have not got around to it yet.

Sounds like yours has done the same thing. I'll race you

The speed I work, I think you'll win.

Anyone got the part number for the bit needed to fix the drivers door?

Well, I finally got around to doing this little job, lazy arse that I am

Dead easy really, you just remove the interior handle & door panel, then remove & replace the interior handle.

It is the handle spring that breaks, but the fixing wears also, I got an ebay RS4 handle new (thanks MarkB ) and swapped the bits over as you can get it all apart no problem

Good work David. You be careful, next you'll be saying you washed the car!
