Great video! You saved me hours of frustration with trying to remove the door panel and lock mechanism. Never having done this job before, it took me about 3 hours start to finish. I saved a bundle on labor. The door you worked on is the passenger side, not the side that has the key lock cylinder. Im in the U.S. and I had an additional part for the lock cylinder that looked like it was just a guide tunnel to get the lock tab into the lock motor mechanism. Since I didn't see it until it fell out, I had no idea how to get it back in. Since I had the door panel off, it was easy to just reach in and guide it by hand, but if it has to be replaced in the future, I'm pretty sure the panel will have to be removed. In the U.S. you can find parts diagrams and parts by just doing a Google search for Audi parts. I looked around and got the part for $280 including shipping. I agree with you to use genuine Audi parts for something like this. The Amazon and eBay parts might be cheaper, but dubious quality. THANKS AGAIN !!!!!
Hi great video can you tell me if these new locks have to be recoded back to the car? As I’ve watched your video which is brilliant and was going to have a go at replacing a new lock
Hi my drivers door handle won’t open my Audi a5 b8 2011 door it opens from the inside though,all other doors work fine do I need to do the same as the video and replace the lock?all other doors lock unlock/open it’s just the driver side handle won’t open my door only from the inside I removed the door handle sprayed some double d 40 to see it it would work but nothing I need help please
Hi Excellent video, will attempt very soon. Just a question on the a5 convertible, do you have an idea how the rear quarter chrome trims are removed this is the part number for one side 8F0853763D ? Many many thanks Jamie
Hi Great Video one question did you buy part from audi ?or what is your opinion on parts for sale on ebay checked audi for part £200 where as parts on line start at 25 -40 quid thanks
Hey! Nice video. I'm having a simillar problem with my S5 v8 -09 however mine is stuck in locked... Any advice on how to change it when you can't open the door?
Amazing video thanks.Unfortunately I don't have the time and tools to do it.Where about are you located and how much do you charge for this service?Thanks
This is always a challenge In hindsight you should've replace the door lock when it started being intermittent In the past I've played around with lock unlock lock unlock as well as handle from outside and inside and just got lucky Failing this, it means remove door card, depending on access this may be destructive removal
Hello, I’m trying to remove the door handle on a 2014 rs5 but the screw to remove the handle is snapped from being over tightened. How can I remove the door handle?
Hi, great video! Wonder if you could help me. Thieves pulled out the driver's side lock cylinder on my 2010 Audi S5 (4.2 V8), then were disturbed before they could do any more damage (or nick the car). Otherwise, the door works perfectly well using the fob. Watching your video, I reckon I can fix it myself, but after hours of searching I cannot find where to buy the lock cylinder from (it's the first part you remove in your vid). Could you point me in the right direction please? I would be most grateful.
Why did you remove the door lock cylinder? It's not connected to the actuator. I can see in my car it's not connected to anything, do some models have an actuator with an extra part for connecting to the key cylinder for unlocking with a key? I wish mine had as all I have is the plastic spare key which is useless if the car is locked.
Hi, I have the same car and same issue. I was going to just follow your video and try do it myself but I have been told by Audi that it won't work after installation as it needs to be electrically coded to the cars central locking system, is this the case? If that is the case, is that for new parts only? And would a second hand used part work? Thanks.
@@CabrioletTech Ok thanks. It's the Left Passenger side Door Lock Actuator that I think is the issue. And the same doors window won't go back up, so I think that's the Window Regulator. Think I'll have to pay someone to fit that as told it's hard to replace and has to be calibrated to lift the window. Thanks for your answer.
Is it obligatory to remove the barrel type? When it comes to the passenger side. Thank you very much, many do the manipulation without removing this part apparently. Scuze my english i'm french.
My passenger door handle doesnt work but still locks. Will this process of changing the door lock and cable be similar on an s5? I want to do nit myself because getting it repaired at the garages is too costly.
@@CabrioletTech it went for a service recently and they didn't even flag it up. They said it was checked and works fine but that was a lie because I know the handle on the outside hasn't worked for 2 months now. Any help would be appreciated, everyone seems to want money for something to be checked...
@@CabrioletTech it was an annual service and when I asked about the door he said they worked fine, but I know they didn't because the handle doesn't work and hasn't for 2 months 🤨 which makes me think they lied. The car locks just fine and closes ok when it's opened from the inside so I don't know if a fault would appear on the software...
Hello. I had the same problem, but in European version(left door). I buy new door lock unit. After replace is the same problem, cannot door open from outside. I think problem is or with left door control unit or with the wiring between car and door, or door wiring self. For 10 times is everything good, 11 time cannot open from outside. Have somebody see something like this?🤨
Hello, thanks for the video. My old actuator was locking the door only with the key and I replaced it with a new one, but still central locking is not working and I couldn't lock the car with the key, so I put back the old actuator, but now I can't lock it even with the key. My car is audi a5 b8.
@@sexy11legs Hi, my problem was that the slot for the fob key was pushed forward and my key was loose.. the car was thinking that the fob key is inside the slot and that's why my central locking was not working. All I did is i put my finger and pulled the plastic and that fixed the problem.. I didn't have any codes tho. If you have this issue try that.
Hello, first of all thank you for your excellent videos. I have an audi 2.5 tdi 2001, and I have dtc error codes that I cannot resolve. Driver side on the module, nothing works except the passenger's window control intermittently. I think to check all the connections and wires, open the door and test my module, look at the fuses.

There is other information that says you have to “cut” through the door! Everyone should thumbs up this!
I have the same issue with my car and same door. What is the part number for the door lock?

Hi
Just order it from your local Audi dealer, they would be able to match it to your original key
Hi where can i find a replacement part? I'm having struggling finding an actuator for my 2008 A5 RHD passenger door :(
Hello,
We would recommend genuine parts from the main dealer
ECS Tuning is a good source for OEM and aftermarket Audi parts
Why did you remove the door lock cylinder? It's not connected to the actuator. I can see in my car it's not connected to anything, do some models have an actuator with an extra part for connecting to the key cylinder for unlocking with a key? I wish mine had as all I have is the plastic spare key which is useless if the car is locked.
Remove lock cylinder so you can remove handle so it can disengage from the actually door lock
Same man. I have no idea why I have a tab and not connected to anything

Hi
The door lock on the 8T does not need coding
The door controller would need coding if you are changing this
