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.
how i can open back door passat 1998
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.
I had the same problem with my '96 Passat when i got it. All i had to do was to put my key in the driver side door and wait until all the doors were unlocked. That unlocked my fuel door as well. you.
the microswitch that operates as a sensor is apereantly inside the lock mechanism in the door: http://www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance/doorlockmechanism/
how do you fix a window on pass side of a vw passat 2002
Yes. It is in the door latch.
Magic
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.
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.
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/
I'm having the same problem...
What kind of problem are you having?
