Front passenger door lock is making a buzzing sound

    The front passenger door lock is making a buzzing sound when unlocking, and it's not unlocking 100% of the time (via remote/central locking button). It's a 2008 A6.

    From some research it sounds like it's the door lock actuator. Does anyone know the part number for this? Any thoughts.

    While I'm waiting on that actuator to be delivered, I want to ask about programming - someone told me that some of these need to be programmed by main dealer, but since mine is 2008 probably doesn't require it. Anyone know what the story is?

    Door lock will be fine, but your Audi does need coding for quite a few parts and worse uses component protection so no second hand parts if the likes of the Kessy module (Steering column replacement), Heater controls etc go bad
