Default Who else has had a problem with the driver door sensor?
Just started the other day. Door ajar warning even though the door is closed. Prevents me from locking the car, not to mention the annoying chime and display on the dash. Before I take the door apart, I was wondering who else has had this problem and what was the cause. Is the sensor prone to failure or just a loose connection?

Default Deja-vu for sure! We did soak the heck out of it with WD-40....
1 can will do! Before I lubricated it, I could intermittently cause the door to secure by slamming it really reallllly hard!

Default Gents - since you guys know about my issue...
I, along with some help, swapped in another stock K03 and it fixed the issue. problem was a bad wastegate.

So, I'm going APR S3 on saturday

If any of you guys have free time on saturday, we'll be at the shop starting around 9am.

I just spray the latch area with WD-40 and it's all good.
