When I did park it up I disconnected the battery so when locking up for hibernation the comfort didn't perform, I never had an issue prior to this.

Also the car double beeps when using the remote, not sure if this is related to the same issue, or whether it's something else I need to investigate.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've had the 996 C4S parked up for 18 months as home extension project took over. When I did park it up I disconnected the battery so when locking up for hibernation the comfort didn't perform, I never had an issue prior to this. Roll on 18 months now the car is back on the road, the comfort opening i.e dropping of the window when opening from the inside and outside on the drivers side did work on an adhoc basis for a few days has now completely stopped working. Having searched the threads here, it appears could be a micoswitch? So not sure if I need a new door lock, just a microswitch? Any suggestions part numbers gratefully received. Also the car double beeps when using the remote, not sure if this is related to the same issue, or whether it's something else I need to investigate. On an aside note, it's great to be back in the 996, and is now the daily driver.

Just buy a complete new lock mechanism. It take around an hour to fit. Door card off and go in behind the membrane. Watch the "How To...." online. Once fitted make sure you test the lock is actually opening/closing when you pull the handles before closing the door. Stick a screwdriver in there to close the catch and test. put he door card on once you have tried it all closing normally etc. I always put a towel or similar through the door catch loop just in case the door closes before I have fully tested it or hooked everything up. It is a very easy fix and you can buy a VW/Audi third party part for very little outlay, I think the TT one is the same from memory. I'm sure someone can list the good value equivalent part on here.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
