[QUOTE="KamRS, post: 156940, member: 919"] Hello. Another little issue. Noticed today when locking the door by remote, the passenger latch didn't make the usual sound, more a hollow clunk, like it was hitting on the metal bodywork somewhere. Happened a couple times - then when we set off and the auto lock kicked in, that same latch made a horrible screeching sound for about a second. Tried to open/close a couple of times, made the same noise. Returned home, seems fine, but still making that hollow metal clunk, when locking (and only when locking). Screws seem to be on tightly, haven't noticed that they moved the smallest amount, which could indicate the lock having moved internally. Unless anyone has had this, next step is to take of the door covers and see what's inside. Re. that - does the sticky goo inside have to be reapplied in any way, when putting the door card back on? EDIT OK searched around the net, not Twingo specific, but seems the actuator is on the way out :( [/QUOTE]
