cable isn't working or the tab/latch on the fuel cap door is binding. Have one person releasing the door while at the same time another person gently prying the door open. Then see what is going on inside with the mechanisms.

The rear doors on a 1998 Passat will not open if the lock is engaged, the child proof switch has been flipped, or the door release is broken. Repairing this problem begins by narrowing down the root cause.

HELP I cant open the driver side door on your 1999 passat from the inside or the outside.?

The site below shows a detailed series of photos. You will not be impressed when you dismantle the door. The lock mechanism is, sadly, only one example of the poor engineering which VW now seems to specialise in. http:/www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance/doorlockmechanism Hope that this helps.


How do you locate a rainwater leak in the interior of a 2002 model Volkswagen Passat?

I had a similar problem with my Passat. The back seat floorboard was soaked. Found out that the seal on the Moon Roof was not functioning properly and the water leaked down through the door on the floorboard. Volkswagen fixed it immediately. They told me it was a common problem. Good luck.


You just purchased a 1998 Passat it came with no manual you cant get the trunk to lock is there a secret you should know about?

The trunk automatically locks when the central locking is activated. Do you mean that the trunk remains unlocked even when the car doors are locked? The lock systems on these cars are not good either in terms of logic or manufacture. You may find this link, which details the repair to a door lock, helpful. http://www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance/doorlockmechanism/
