Just had to get me door latch changed as the interior light and all that is connected to it failed so got it all done for £158 is this a good deal

Bowders1 No, not considering I just changed mine for £3.

Although I had to take the door apart to get to the latch mechanism to change the micro switch that operates the interior light. I can post instructions and some pic if anyone interested. The VW forums do not go into detail that well, as stripping down the Octavia door is not the same as a Passat and Golf. It is not a job for the faint hearted. Took me 2 hours. VW,AUDI must of been paid a large sum to make those locking mechanisms that complicated.

19. Loosen (but do not completely remove) the retaining screw with a T20 Torx driver. The screw actually has a very small triple square head, but a T20 driver works perfectly. The retaining screw can be seen in the picture below.

20. Loosen the retaining screw enough so that the handle blank slides out of the door. (2 for the Skoda Octavia) The passenger's and driver's side pieces can be seen in the pictures below. On my car, the screws needed to be turned approximately 13-15 turns for the pieces to slide out. Also, you may need to pull out on the door handle slightly to allow each piece to slide completely out.

This is as far as you need to go on the outside, to then take out the Door lock Mechanism. Now you are ready to remove the door lock mechanism. This is where the taped up window comes into play. - First you will need to either carefully pull off the door membrane on the right hand side or cut it down the side so to expose the window regulator bracket bolts and allow access to get at the door lock mechanism. You will need to tape this back up later. - Then unscrew the TX30 torx screws on the right hand side that support the window regulator. This is to allow enough room for the door lock mechanism to come out. - Then remove the two door lock module bolts on the rear edge of the door using the 8mm triple square tool. The bolts are indicated by the yellow arrows in the picture below.

The 8mm triple square tool is also shown below.

You need to remove this micro switch and replace it with the one you have purchased. - Observe the position and how the old switch works. Then remove the old switch. It is held in place by two plastic plugs that are melted to hold the switch. Pry it out with a small flat bladed screwdriver and clip the wires at the switch.

Octavia 1 - Replacing Door Latch Microswitch - Skoda Octavia I - BRISKODA.net - The Skoda Forum and Community operate. As the replacement switch is not like this and will need to be either screwed down or glued with strong cement. I opted for screws. In this pic you will see the difference between the old and new switch, mainly the holes in the new switch that screws will be used to hold it in place. You will also have to remove the metal lever that comes with the new switch by slowly twisting it out with pliers. You don't need it, just the main body of the switch.

- cut the red and blue wires off of the old switch near to the switch end - You will need a dremel tool or small drill to slot out the holes in the new switch inwards and upwards to the top of the switch to allow the screws to fit through the mechanism holes and through the switch and to give adequate clearance for the cam in the mechanism to clear the switch. Some folks have actually dremelled the lock asm rather than the switch, this is up to you, but I felt more comfortable doing this to the new switch (rather bugger that up than the asm). Here is a pic of someone else’s attempt to drill the lock.

- When you have drilled out the holes enough to get screws through it and the lock it should look something like this. Note the below pic has the switch around the wrong way as it is a VW Passat and slightly different

Note I added a couple more nuts to hold in place better and also used screw thread lock.

- Solder the previously cut wires to the new switch on the terminals. Attach the wires to the Common and one to the NO (normally open). This is the middle terminal (ignore the pic above as first soldered it wrong. Does not matter which way round the colors go by the way. - You are now ready to test the results - Take the door lock mechanism out to the car and replug the door lock connector whilst holding the mechanism. - Try to manipulate the door open and closed by sliding a screw driver into the latch area to see if the interior light will come on. - You can do this by pulling up the lever on the mechanism and at the same time push the latch down or up.

No worries thought it may be useful, something I had been meaning to do for a while. just getting it all together takes time. Next time I go to a scrapyard I think I will be stripping out a few of these for spares, as to get hold of original micro switch's from dealers is impossible, and the copy one (burgess) is not quite as good, although it does the trick. It means messing about drilling the switch holes out , that's all.

Nope definetly a fault i've cleared it then re-created the issue a few times right away. Basically the drivers door doesn't open off the central locking remote all other doors do without issue, the same goes for when you're actually sat in the car pressing the lock unlock button, the drivers door lock just doesn't move which is of course the most annoying from my point of view!!! The dash light to say the door is open comes on as does the interior light, not 100% sure about the "lights are on" buzz but will have to check this again - i recalled it working the last time i tried though. Bit stumped because my issue seems different to all of the others i've looked at so far. The only thing that i do remember happening is when we had that really really bad bout of ice a few months back. There was a very loud twang/ping after i'd been driving for about 2 mins that came from the drivers side door, thats when the problem started and its just got gradually worse from there on in.

This sounds like the cable to the Door latch. When you press the remote can you here the door latch on the drivers side trying to work? I would definately follow the guide to getting the door panel off. Then you will see if either the exterior cable to door handle has snapped (common)

Thanks for that bowders, based on what you've said it'd make more sense to be for it to be the exterior cable as i forgot to mention the handle sometimes gets stuck up an upward out position..... lets hope for good whether tomorrow! edit - is it easy enough to lay a new cable then or is it worth just taking it the garage?

Thanks for the info guys. Most enlightening. Just aquired the no interior light story with mine. Baffled me when i couldn't find any switches on the car before i realised they must be in the door. On that note. Do you know if all doors have a switch, and are they independant, ie all work or none? I have an Octavia glxi 00 reg. Thanks again.

SP-1 Hi Boys and girls.

Since I've gained so much information from this site I feel I owe it to you all to give you a bit back. I have today (27th July 2010) replaced my drivers door lock assembly. The symptoms I had were: No interior light when drivers door opened. No door safety light (the red and white one on the bottom right had side of the door as you look at it opened) No "lights on alarm" when drivers door opened, with ignition off, lights on and door open. It seems a common fault on all in the VAG range. Indeed when I went into a local Skoda dealership to see how much a new mechanism was the bloke new without even looking at the screen, as they sell a lot of them!! £110 plus VAT! I bought a second hand lock mechanism from ebay, for £25. I then went to Maplin electronics shop and bought a microswitch. This one: http://www.maplin.co...OrderCode=N95AQ (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx? ModuleNo=34835&OrderCode=N95AQ) I tried the one with the metal hinge as I figured it might be more robust, however I couldn't make it fit, so used the one without. It looks similar to the original! The holes don't quite line up, but instead of drilling it, I used a really strong glue to hold it in place. You need to look at the "cam" of the door lock to see where best to place it. Too far away and it won't make contact, too close and it'll smash the switch. I followed the instructions from a Haynes manual, and looked on here. The only thing I would say is I didn't need to remove any of the electric window mechanism. Once released there was enough room (just) to get the lock mechanism out. The whole job start to finish took me 3 hours. I already had most of the tools, except the "splined socket" drives, needed to remove the mechanism from the door. I bought a set for £15 from Halfords, that fitted onto my existing half inch socket driver. All in all I'd say it's not difficult if you're half mechanically minded, it's just a bit time consuming. Time will tell if glue was the right idea though!!!!!!

The switch doesn't always fail with its contacts open. On mine it's failed closed so the car always thinks the driver's door is not fully shut. First I noticed was the interior light didn't turn off when I started the car. Additionally the remote locking would only unlock, not lock the car. Different symptoms but the same cause.

It's a while ago since you posted, but mine has just got this exact fault and the same symptoms. Only difference is mine seems temperamental. It works in the evenings, but not in the mornings (like me!). I think it could be on it's way out. Also, my "lights on" buzzer doesn't work, and I swear the puddle light doesn't work sometimes.

OK, for anyone reading, today was lovely and sunny. I'd already prepped the car by removing the door innards a while back, so I just needed to get the lock assembly out. After about an hour I had it out and was checking it over. The microswitch was working! When inserting a tiny screwdriver to depress the microswitch, I could see that the switch is purely there to indicate to the car, when the door is open or not. The door open light was working, the fuel pump engaged, the interior light works. Whats more, when the car is locked with the remote, the red door LED flashes when I've disconnected the lock assembly from the door wiring. It doesn't flash when the assembly is connected and the car is locked with the remote. So now I have another problem. If the microswitch is not preventing the central locking from working on the drivers door, then could it be the door locking unit itself? There must be a PCB inside plus a motor. I'm due to take a further look tomorrow to check the control unit on the window regulator for corrosion as posted by another member. If there's nothing wrong there, then I guess I'll disassemble the lock unit and mess with it.

Hi. I found this really hopeful and I am currently working on the micro-switch. When I tried to secure the new switch by two small holes in it, I was too close to the interior parts of the switch and it caused some damage. The switch doesn't work well anymore. Does anyone know the size of the two screws you need for this job? Can I use glue instead? Thanks
