Castle in the car

[D-dos]

Hi, posiadam samochód volkswagen golf trzeciej generacji. Próbuję go otworzyć wytrychem kulistym, ale nie mogę. I tu jest coś dziwnego, potrafię zamknąć wytrychem samochód, ale nie potrafię otworzyć? Przy zamykaniu czuję blaszki, ale przy zamykaniu nie czuję. Może sprzęgło?

Pozdrawiam

Excuse not pasted in the English translation:

Hi, I have a Volkswagen Golf car in the third generation. I'm trying to open the ball picking, but I can not. And there is something strange, I can quit picking a car, but I can not open? When closing the blade feel, but I do not feel when closing. Maybe the clutch?

I'm sorry: we won't be able to help you yet. (We don't discuss ways of picking car locks in the public forums.) You will have to wait until you can apply for access to the advanced forums.

In the meantime... welcome! There's lots to learn here: please stick around!

[D-dos]

Okay, I understand. What do I need to be advanced in a group and have access to a car forum about castles?

- Do not think I'm a thief, he trains on his car;) -

Regards.

Witamy Pana!

Just a heads up for everyone, "castle" is the literal translation to "zamek" which in Polish is also the exact same word for "lock" so the translation websites always get that word wrong.

The OP said that he can pick his car door open in one direction but cannot pick it in the other and was wondering why that was happening.

It is in this case I just lock and I can not open it, but I close without a problem. The key work? Why shut, and I can not open? After the castle was defeated when locked ... This could be the clutch?

many auto's already are making mechanical key cylinders obsolete. More to the point, today there are usually only 2 keyholes often found on autos. The drivers door and the ignition. the locks are usually only there as a mechanical backup as there is often a button for the ignition or a remote or prox card for the door.

Three on newer cars... The trunk/liftgate should have one as well...

Powered gadgets and remote keyless entry are wonderful things -- but both rely on your vehicle's battery having a charge in order to operate... So the mechanical locks are in those three locations to allow someone whose car has no power to open the vehicle to effect repairs or allow recovery of the vehicle to a garage for the work to be done for them...

If your trunk had no mechanical lock cylinder on it and that was where your battery was located you would not be able to open the trunk without using some destructive entry method as most trunk releases in modern cars are electrically operated and not a direct cable linkage anymore... The only manual way to open them now is with the anti-kidnap emergency escape release lever directly on the lock body itself...

My car only has one, and it's the driver side door. There isn't one on the trunk and as far as I can tell for the hood where the battery is. I'm gonna have to double check my manual now. But there's definitely nothing at the trunk. It's an 07 subaru legacy.
