Weird problem shutting drivers door

trollopscarletwoman

Hello.

I have a 2002 citroen saxo.

I'm having problems especially on cold mornings getting the drivers door to fully catch.

It can take up to 15 attempts to get it to catch. Yet in the afternoons it catches first time, every time. I just don't get it.

Temperature perhaps?

When was it serviced last? A proper service where they lubricate the locks and catches?

Sounds like your door catch just needs adjusting. If you tell them at your garage it shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

3-in-1 oil spray from Halfords/local car spares places, spray it liberally over the door latch (do all the others, hinges and sliders as well) and you shouldn't have any more problems.

Don't use WD40 as it isn't thick enough and will remove any grease that's on there now.

Sounds like the door has dropped a bit, I've seen it happen on a 106 before.
Fairly easy to adjust, a friendly garage should do it for a 'drink' or have a go yourself.

Door dropped? But when it warms up the door fixes itself?

Just a sticky mechanism
