Passat door handle fix.
Vw b5 and b5 5 passat 1998 2005.
There are several problems with the b3 b4 passat outer door handles.
Many vws have similar designs.
Care should be taken on installing as they are a pita to fish out of the door once the door cards are in.
I ve repaired a few passat b4 and jetta mk3 non working handle problems by simply replacing that clip.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem.
Hold the interior door handle as if you were going to exit your car then flick the metal latch in the door mechanism up and it will go in the up position.
Thepassenger side screw is reverse threaded.
When you pull the door handle there is an inner swing handle with a white nub on it directly behind the lock cylinder that is supposed to hit a lever within the door.
If the problem is internal you have toremove the inside door panel but this is the least likely problem.
This process is the same for doors with key lock and no key lock.
Winters and passats do not mix.
That is exactly what i do either carry a small butane torch or a lighter in your car.
It looks like the handle is loose.
