Mattias.K Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hi,I de-locked my Lupo today using the guide here on CL. Everything went fine and I adjusted the slack on the door handle cable according to the guide. I tested it and it worked good at first, but later I could not open the drivers side door. Could I have tightned the cable for the door handle too much? And how do I open it? I removed the door panel and can see the locking mechanism but I still can't open it! Help!Thanks!

Mike_M Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) You should not need to touch the pull cable that attaches to the handle, but you will need to use a metal file to adjust the shape of the rear metal lock blanks to suit the front of the car........You have to file it slightly to allow the band that clamps down on it once you screw up tight, to allow the door mech to opperate properly............well that is what i had to do with my Golf mk4 blanks when I did my GTI about 6 years ago Edited May 22, 2011 by Mike_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias.K Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Thanks for your reply. It was in my case the cable that was too tight and I managed to loosen it after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
