Default V60 door lock actuator replacement

hi guys,

I have a problem on my 2013 V60 where the drivers door is not unlocking with the remote. It started failing intermittently a few weeks ago and has gradually got worse (maybe due to the cold weather) to the point where now I have to press the keyfob about 10 times before it unlocks although once it is successful it then works fine until the car is left locked for a few hours then it fails again. I can hear the mechanism trying to work unsuccesfully so I suspect it is mechanical rather than electrical although I wouldn't rule that out.

I found this useful video on youtube showing a full tear down to replace the spring and motor in the actuator unit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIZmJFqoDKk
and although it would be a long job I have done stuff like this before so I'm tempted to give it a go rather than pay the £385 my local garage want to replace the unit.

So I was wondering
a) has anyone else encountered/fixed this issue themselves before?
b) where can I get a used replacement lock assembly in case I need one? I spoke to the dealers who wanted £215+vat, they gave me the code 31349861 however searching online for this I can't find a used one anywhere in the uk, surely they can't be that rare or is there another equivalent product code?

thanks!
Tim

In the end I got my local garage to sort it, they charged me £360 of which I think about £260 was for the part they ordered no 31349861 although the number on the part they took off was 31301740? Either way it works fine now, I'm sure I could have fitted the part myself if I had time, you can either order it from a Volvo dealer or on the Skandix website I think. I did try opening up the old part, the spring looked ok so assume it was the motor however I wouldn't know which motor to order as I think the unit was different to the one on that video I posted previously?

I personally think this is unacceptable on Volvo’s part. They must be aware that there have been many many cases where these lock actuators fail. For a company so proud of safety and security it’s a little odd. Any chance you could get a goodwill contribution from Volvo UK?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but i have the same issue with my front drivers door, i've ordered the part number "31349860"

Does anyone know if there is any meaningful difference between 31349861 and 31349860?

Thanks.

Mine is non keyless so I'm assuming 60 might be that one. And opposite for the 61. Was your car keyless? If so, I think that's probably it.

Other possibility could be LHD and RHD variations, but not sure how they could possibly be different.

Mine does have a tiny key in the remote although I think it goes in the passenger side, not sure as I have never used it sorry
