I know that when my Audi A6 conversion was done the position of the inside of the mech had to be moved down slightly compared to the standard handle and supplied plate to clear the glass.

yeah there was problems with the mech, its all works perfect, just dont understand why it wont lock and stay locked

 

 

the pump maybe cant pull the lock down far enough, on my car (with the door car off) you can see it pull the lock down, past the point it the returns to after about 10 seconds when the pressure goes, maybe its not getting far enough and the lock is springing back up??

 

have you watched it from inside>

there's no such thing as a "popular problem" mate ;)

 

Icegeezer, its strange, I am sure loads of people have done this mod (well, a few at least), seems strange no one had any input :(

ooops common problem!!!!

 

I would agree no one has been very forward with their comments sure the conversion has been done by quite a few people! Not really heard of many issues with it either...
