Gd day everyone,
Just need some help/advise on how to fix the problem on my driver door. It seem that the driver door couldn't not be open from outside only from the inside and also for the passenger door, I can only open from outside but not inside can someone out there help me on this. Thanks Vince

I can't remember exactly but I have had this happen years ago, will try to describe.

If you take your door skin off, you will find that there are linkages between the various parts (inside handle, outside handle, knob and latch).

What has happened is that the linkage has come away from whatever part is not working.

This could be a few things;

Sometimes there is a spring clip thing that slides over the linkage rod on it falls off

or,

Sometimes the rod can fall out of the hole it goes in on the latch.

Basically, if you take off the door skin and have a look (or compare to the other door if its working) you should work it out pretty easily.

Quite often, if someone tries to use a coathanger etc. to get in without keys, they inadvertently knock one of the linkages off.

I usually find that if something isn't working, then pulling it apart, cleaning everything and then reassembling will usually fix the problem - or at least enable you to find the cause. The handles are attached by a couple of allen screws behind the door trim. Good luck! Smile

Thank Guys I have try to removing every single item on the door cleaning it but to no avail, so yesterday I sent it to the mechanic and they found out that the release lever on both side of the door is not working and the driver side door locking mechanism is faulty , so right now i have to find a secound hand part or new one in order for the door to work or should I say open...very sad can't drive the kombi at all ..so if anyone out there happen to have any spares pls let me know ....thanks alot.
