hello together,

after hopefully having fixed my leaking problem I still have some little niggles and wondering whether someone has experience and a fix.



My door handles get stuck in open position from time to time when opening car has anyone had this and fixed it successfully?
It seems like the previous owner has kind-fully left a CD in the CD changer which won't eject. At least when I try to put a new CD in it seems to be blocked but no CD ejects when I push button.

Thanks guy's

Have you pressed play to see if there is one in there:confused:

Try WD40 in the handles, that will loosen them up, then you'll need to pull the trim off to re-grease them, probably the grease has gone dry and has crap in them(dust)

Yes play won't work either, sorry where do I grease them with normal grease?

You'll need to take the door trim off to get at the whole mechanism, not sure of the type of grease though, could be a dry lube maybe, the WD40 is to free them up, use the can with the little pipe that goes on the nozzle, just spray it into the handle in the open position then open and close the handle a few times to work in the WD, if you don't have WD, a silicon lube spray is fine.

thanks you made me look in to cd again and actually cd is working it function a bit different that I expected to get it to accept the CDs .

handles looks like a mechanical thing where it gets stuck in a certain position if handle not pulled out straight
