central locking
 

I have a small problem with the power Central locking on the 100.it will lock the doors but won’t open them unless you take off the air pipe on the pump, turn key to open and reattach the pipe and it will open. The pump works with the air pipe off. but won’t open with it reconnected .any ideas ?

Sounds like problem with pressure sensor in pump or pump's electronics. Just try another pump.

bump

tryed another pump still the same :( looks like an air leak somewhere ?
what's the best way of finding the leak.there is lots of pipe everywhere :shake:

There is no easy way to do this mate.If you can find where they tee off to either side of the car, you can then remove the pipe for say the drivers side, block the tee piece so there are nol leaks. Turn the key and see if the connected side locks and unlocks. If that side woeks you know which side the leak is. Then its the painful job of stripping out and replacing the pipework.
As a short term fix unplug the motor and use the locking as standard.

result :D:D:D found the leak its on the left hand rear door vack pump thingi :lol:

Do Audi or VW still do them? Worth a shout Micky

That looks very much the same as the door regulators out of the CQ? If so I've got some of them lying around.
