Central locking fault

[GDPR]

Hi, I have a 2010 V70 and have noticed today that when I lock the car with the central locking the rear left hand door does not lock - all the others do.

Is this a familiar issue to anybody with a V70? Any ideas on fault?

Thanks

Seen this sort of thing posted on here and it always seems to be the door lock in the offending door. The easiest fix if that is the case is to replace the lock unit, either new or with a breaker's yard item. People do take the locks to pieces and sometimes fix them but that was never Volvo's idea. The parts inside the lock are not available.

It's likely to be the central locking motor, it's around a £10 part.

It's easy enough to do if you're a DIY'er but a bit fiddly (especially if it's a keyless model).

There's a couple of pictures on my progress thread, currently a few posts under this. I used this video as a guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIZmJFqoDKk

If you're going to try and fix it, get the motor before stripping your door apart - I didn't and had a weeks wait for the motor arriving from china.

I agree with all that it's likely to be the lock drive motor, and that Youtube video from Volvosweden is solid gold.

You can save some hassle by buying a salvage motor as a complete unit, and it was used on cars right the way across the Ford family, including Volvos, the Ford Mondeo and Focus, and vehicles in the JLR group.

The Volvo parts seem expensive and hard to find in salvage, but when we did my brother's 2009 V70 last month (both rear doors) we used these parts off a Range Rover:

There's one plastic arm held by one screw that you need to swap over from your old motor, but it's a doddle.
