tdi 300 pasenger door button

ericthered · Oct 15, 2009

Hi All,
Next job on the list, recently the passenger door button drops and the door can not be opened from outside and can only be opened from the inside if you lift the the button, I take it a spring has probably snapped or come loose , but heard on the grapevine that it is a massive job to change this simple spring is this true or is it easy, anybody know how or what is wrong with the catch.

Springs are £15 for all 5 doors off fleabay, here's a link to a how to fit 'em Wizardbilt.com Door Spring Installation.

My local indie charges £100 per door to fit

Where in Durham are you?

It does sound like the spring has broken, it's a fiddly job, but straightforward.

Is this the same on the TD5, I have a back door button that does not pop up when opened but the door can still be opened fron outside.

oldzed mine wont open from the outside , but the good news is thats the wifes side so who's bothered if its p*****g down ow she saw that

it's an easy job to change the spring for the back doors but on the front doors you need to remove the door top, not too hard but a bit time consuming, and try and get a pair of locking tweezers to put the new spring in, not necessary but does make it easier.
