I'll look at the list and work off at home what I can fix and then maintain my own upkeep in terms of services etc where possible. 👍🏽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your 986 Yup agreed and I noticed that. Original plan was for them to inspect it only and that was circa £200 so thought sod it they may as well service it too for the extra 150. Cheers for the good luck... Hoping It goes well. 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see from the net that this is a common issue now on our cars and replacing the lock actuator is the most straightforward fix. The Audi part above is out of stock & I would prefer to order from UK / Europe. Has anybody got a suggestion for a reliable source?

CRC Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 You could try taking your door lock apart as I did with mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycho Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 I was planning to have a go following your post. But, due to my limited ability and sausage fingers, I wanted to have a replacement as a back up. I have managed to track down some more suppliers: lower prices with 5-year guarantees.

Tycho Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Still researching door locks - the Audi part listed above (8N1837016B) is in the Porsche catalogue as being for a left-hand drive car. Will it be OK on RHD? Also, the comment about having the door lock in the right setting when reconnecting the battery worried me - what is the correct setting? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tycho Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Yes I noticed recently my 986 only had a slot on the driver's side (!) but I believe Mk1 TTs had slots on both sides - I did have one many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
