Central Locking

by Calibra_Mike » Sat Jun 11, 2011 8:59 am

At present I dont have remote locking, I have to use my key to unlock the car, it does active the central locking however Im finding that when i lock the car the central locking locks then unlocks and sometime i have to do this 2 or three times to get the car ro stay locked, anyone have an idea what could be making it do this? Solenoid problem or something?

i used to have this with my old 8v, basically it was because the passenger side door wasnt getting used often and what would happen was the paddle was sticking and causing the car to unlock.
have a look when your locking the car to see if the passenger side is locking

Yep checked it last night, looks like the passenger side isn't always locking first time, and it does feel pretty stiff to operate the lock from inside the car, will have to get it freed up at the weekend, along with a load more work I still have been meaning to do...
