Technical noisy door opening
check the hinge on the door that the bolt is tight, if not tighten it up, spray some oil and see how you go
Hi, just replaced the door check on the drivers door last weekend,got replacement from PDH Findon had to be ordered takes 2days to arrive £13.90inc vat, tip I picked up on here is to remove the door speaker cover be carefull with screwdriver, remove speaker then put your arm up inside the door to retrieve door check you dont have to remove the door panel. The new door check will probably be different in design as my was but it does fit. The new ones can be fiddly to fit any probs let me know.
i have this problem on the drivers side i think the door check strap needs replacing i will have a bash when i get back off my holidays!!
If you buy the door, how much would it cost to get it replaced ?
Door or check strap?
Usually doesn't actually need a new strap, just a replacement roll pin.
Cheers

Oh sorry as the topic was about a door, i just wanted to know. My door has a few dents, and a lot of scratches. I'm going to buy a second hand one, just was wondering what the labour would be to get it changed.

New door skin would be cheaper.
theres 2 bolts where strap is attached to door, hex heads, undo these, along with the bolt in the strap holder on body, then u can get ur hand inside door and up to pull it out.
fitting is opposite of removing, careful when working on inside of door, panel edges are pretty sharp!

There hard 2 see alrite..ull need a mirror...but of u jus feel about an inch above and below the strap arm ull be able to make out the bolts. There small enough..small allen keyor hex bit in 1/4inch racthet shold do the job..

My 2004 mk2 1.2 8v Punto has this noise issue on opening both rear doors. It's not too serious - no clanging or anything of that sort - just some friction noise coming from thw hinges. Spayed the hinges with WD40 on several occassions and all went fine. The problem just keeps on re-occurring particualry in cold and frosty weather conditions. Never had such an issue on my 1998 Brava SX.
