NEEBLAMMERS - How is your fix holding up a few months on?

I have just purchased an 07 Note SVE for my wife and have a buzzing noise from it seems both front doors when locking the car.

Do you think your fix will work for me?

How do you fix it (2min way) without taking off the door card?

Do you have any how to guides with step by step pics to illustrate this, as it will help me and hopefully others a lot.

Cheers
Athers

Hi,Tried the fix on the weekend and could see the pin, which was off centre.

Tried to push it back into place centrally, but it kept reverting back to the same position.

Am I looking at the right bit? Needless to say the loud buzzing sound on closing the door with the key fob is still present.

Will try and take some pics later.

I'm hoping I don't have to go and get 2 new locks fitted (buzzing both sides) as I heard they are not cheap or would people recommend the 2nd hand option?

Is this the pin that I must move back into position, you can see in the centre of the pic?

Tried moving it about but already seems correctly in place and also compared it to back 2 doors and appears in the same place.

I guess I will have to order new locks?

Is it?

I'm referring to the very small pin at the back of the picture, which bends to the left?

The bend then leads to the pin at the side of the door, which is what I 1st thought the pin I needed to adjust was, but it is all the same one pin though.

Here it is from other side where 3 screws are (centre of pic is where pin is):

Ok, cheers for your help.

I will try again tomorrow.

So a year on, did your issue ever come back or was it a permanent fix?

Hi,

Quick update. Had another attempt this morning and still get the loud buzzing from both doors.

Took some pics of pin and tools used.

As Woodcote mentioned to me, when you push the pin back in, you don't feel like it has moved. Tried many times each door, but in the end buzzing still remains.

Any further help would be appreciated.

Will try again lunchtime.

Cheers

Yep, that is the pin which I tried pushing in, but made no difference.

Hi,

Yep, it does flex a bit, so have been looking for something stronger as one in pic is radio removal key, but also tried an L plate bracket.

I wasn't sure how much force to apply so will try again with more pressure and try and find a better tool.

 

[Athers99]

Ok,

Just tried again, used a stronger tool and applied more force and.......NO MORE BUZZING

Both sides now fixed. Yes the pin should no longer be visible once pushed back in.

I took all of the screws fully out, as suggested by 'mdvineng' which allowed me to bring the lock closer up to me which made it much more easier.

Big thanks to 'mdvineng' and 'Woodcote' over the past few days for helping me with this and to the original poster 'Neeblamers'. You guys have literally just saved me about £300 - £400 in having 2 new locks fitted.

With a new baby on the way and the car recently bought for my wife for that reason, she will be very pleased on us not having to fork out extra costs on new locks.

I hope my pics posted also help others in future who encounter the same buzzing issue.

Please attempt this fix before taking it to the dealers to replace the locks and save yourself £££.
