Childlock Fault

[nickyboy83]

Has anyone experience this fault on their T7 please? Symptoms are that the doors unlock and lock continuously when driving at slow speeds and the sliding doors do not open very easily on the first attempt from the outside. I also get a 'electronic childproof lock' error on the driving display. Just a minor issue but annoying all the same. VW said it was a known issue but no official fix has been released via the VW bulletins yet.

Nope, news to me. Oney thing I had was the N/S sliding door not opening from the outside once after a long period of not being used. I opened it from the dash button and it reset, no problem since

We had an issue with sliding door not opening from the outside the problem was fixed by checking the childproof lock switch on the inside of the sliding door which you move with a straight blade screw driver We noticed that the switch was just off the off once put back it made a whirring sound and has been OK since 6 months ago.This is on a T6 California. I don't know if this will help you.

nickyboy83 - see my post, had this clunk clunk sound when coming to a stop or near stop, turned out it was the locking mechanism in the sliding doors. I also had issues with the doors opening from the key fob and the nbutton in the external handles was hard to squeese. All fixed by the dealer.

The childlock error message does come up on mine, awaiting an update from VW to resolve

Thanks Stu. Your issue is exactly as described. It went into the dealer and was temporarily fixed although they said there wasn’t an official remedy yet and seemed to be fine for a few weeks. I pressed the child lock button to test it and sure enough we were back to square 1. Guess it’s a waiting game now. My guess is software related.
