This model Jetta has auto locks; you turn the key and all the doors lock (and alarm activates). Mine has a problem though, the drivers door locks, but all the others do not. I can hear the whine of a small motor (left side in trunk) for about twenty seconds, as if the doors are trying to lock but will not. I think the locking mechanism needs to be replaced. Is it possible to just disconnect the struggling locking mechanism and just lock the doors manually?
