GENERAL

This repair group covers removal and installation of thefront door assemblies, the front door glass and windowregulators, and service to the door lock assemblies in­cluding the central locking system. Special tools andequipment are required for some operations. For removalof door panels see 70 Trim-Interior.

WARNING-Disconnecting the negative (-) battery cable mayerase fault codes and basic settings in the enginemanagement and automatic transmission controlmodules. Some driveability problems may be no­ticed until the system re-adapts to operating condi­tions. 080 /I readiness codes, which may berequired for emissions testing, may also be erased.Convenience electronics (alarm system, interiorlight control, power locks, mirrors, and windows)may need to be re-set using a VAG 1551/1552 orequivalent scan tool.

Special tools

~ Various special tools are specified for door service

• Socket wrench T10011(outside door handle removal)

• Socket wrench T10072(outside door handle removal)

• Assembly tool T10034(outside door handle installation)

• Box spanner 3320/2 and 3320/3 for 3320(door removal, installation, adjustment)

• Socket 3410 (door adjustment)

Power windows

Models equipped with power windows feature the abilityto raise and lower both front windows by using the key inthe front door lock. By holding the key in the locked posi­tion for more than 1 second, either window that was in thedown position will be raised to the closed position in addi­tion to locking the vehicle. This feature is known as con­venience close.

As a ventilation aid in hot weather, both front windowscan also be lowered. By holding the key in the unlock po­sition for more than 2 seconds, both front windows will belowered at the same time, in addition to unlocking the ve­hicle.

Power windows also feature pinch protection and one­touch up and one-touch down operation. The one-touchup feature is deactivated as soon as the ignition isswitched off. The power windows will also remain func­tional (without one-touch up) for approximately 10 min­utes after the ignition is shut off provided that a door is notopened.

Central locking

All models are available with central locking that is activat­ed by insertion of the key into an outside door, by activationof a locking switch from within, or by the keyless remote.

When opening a locked vehicle from the outside with thekey, there are two options. If the key is turned once, onlythat particular door will unlock. If the key is quickly turnedtwice, both doors will be unlocked. This safety feature isknown as selective unlocking.

DOORS

The doors are designed with a split hinge that can be slidapart. After disconnecting the appropriate electrical con­nectors and the door check, the complete door can easilybe removed from the vehicle as required. Most of the in­ternal components of the doors including the window reg­ulators and window glass are assembled into a modularassembly known as an assembly carrier.

Door, removing and installing

~ Remove lower A-pillar lower trim (5), see 70 Trim-Inte­rior. Disconnect harness connectors (6).

Remove wiring harness boot (3) at A-pillar and carefullywork wiring harness connectors through opening (ar­row).

CAUTION-00 not close door with harness connectors be­tween door and A-pillar. They will be crushed.

Pry off cover cap (2) and remove bolt (1) from upperhinge pin.

Remove lower bolt (4) from hinge using VW special tool3320 door adjusting wrench and 3320/2 box spanner. Al­ways replace this bolt upon installation.

Carefully lift door upward and out of hinge brackets.

Installation is the reverse of removal.

Tightening torques

• Upper hinge bolt. 13 Nm (10 ft-Ib)

• Lower hinge bolt(always replace) ..... 20 Nm (15 ft-Ib) + % turn (90°)

Door, adjusting

For proper door adjustment, door hinge must be loos­ened at pillar. Other measures, such as aligning door up­ward, are not effective. Excess pressure thereafter willagain cause door to sag. For this, door adjusting wrench3320 with Box spanner 3320/2 must be used. If it shouldbe necessary that door hinge must be loosened at upperA-pillar from inside. VW special tool, socket insert 3410can be used to do this. To do so, instrument panel mustbe removed first, see 70 Trim-Interior.

Door, adjusting striker plate

Loosen bolts (2) and move striker plate (1) until doorshell is flush with contour of body. Tighten bolts.

Tightening torque

• Striker plate to door pillar 20 Nm (15 ft-Ib)

NOTE-Striker plate adjustment is only used to align the doorinward or outward, not vertically. Door should not moveup or down when closed or opened. If this occurs, ver­tical alignment of striker is incorrect

COMFORT SYSTEM

The vehicles covered by this manual are available withcentral locking, anti-theft alarm system, keyless remotesystem and power mirrors. This combination of inter-con­nected systems is known as the Comfort System.

NOTE-• The comfort system features built-in diagnostic cir­

cuitry that detects and stores Diagnostic TroubleCode (oTC) information. When the system detects afault, a oTC is generated and stored in the comfortsystem central control module memory. This may re­sult in failure of the system to operate properly. Properdiagnosis of fault codes can be accessed through thedata link connector using Volkswagen scan tool VAG1551/1552 or equivalent.

• Additional diagnostic information is available in adata-stream format to aid in troubleshooting. Thisvaluable information can only be accessed by scantools such as the Volkswagen VAG 1551/1552 orequivalent. Evaluation and interpretation of this infor­mation fall outside the scope of this service manual.

• Volkswagen identifies electrical components by a let­ter and/or a number in the electrical schematics. See97 Wiring Diagrams, Fuses and Relays. Theseelectrical identifiers are listed in parenthesis as an aidto electrical troubleshooting.

Keys and remote control

~ Three keys and a key tag are provided with most Volk-swagens covered by this manual.

• A - Two folding master keys with remote control• 8 - One valet key• C - One key tag.

Some vehicles may also have a master key that does nothave the remote control feature. It will be similar in ap­pearance to 8 above and open the same locks as A.

The master keys fit all the locks on the vehicle and allow youto open/close the vehicle and set the anti-theft alarm sys­tem. The valet key is forthe driver's door the steering ring/ig­nition lock only. The lockable glove compartment and rear lidcannot be opened with this key. The key tag contains the keynumberthat is needed to obtain replacement keys from yourVolkswagen dealer. It is advisable to record the number andkeep the key tag in a secure location (not in vehicle). If yousell the vehicle, you should also give the buyer the key tag.

The remote control portion of the master key allows youto do the following without having to use the key:

• Lock the vehicle and arm the alarm• Unlock the vehicle and disarm the alarm• Use the selective unlock feature (open driver's door only)• Switch on the interior lights (later models only)• Open or unlock the rear lid (varies by model year)• Activate the "panic function"

Details about the operation of the remote control can befound in the glovebox owner's manual. If your vehicle ismissing the glovebox owner's manual a replacement onecan be purchased from the publisher or Volkswagen.

As a security feature, if the vehicle has been unlocked us­ing the keyless remote transmitter and a door is notopened within approximately 30 seconds, the system willre-Iock all of the doors and re-arm the alarm system.
