Omega General Help / Door Opening Problems
« on: 03 March 2007, 14:09:30 »
I've got two problems with different doors (different cars actually):
1. Door unlocks ok, and inside handle works fine, but requires a real yank to open it from the outside. Its the same effect whether it has just been unlocked or opened and closed a few times. Hopefully just the handle mechanism needs lubricating, but what is the best way of accessing it? Should I remove the door card etc and access from inside (I'm not sure from the Haynes pictures that the handle mechaism will be any better accessible from inside) or is it worth squirting wd40 in the key hole?
2. When unlocking with the remote, the central locking fires and all doors can be opened except the drivers door which requires the key to be inserted and turned. The knob has come up, but apparently not quite enough. Once 'opened' with the key the door opens and closes fine.
Appreciate any suggestions before I start removing the door cards.
Cheers,
Ian

They thought other dealers were doing the same as they end up making a loss.
