MonkeyVR6 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Chaps, I have a bit of a problem. Discovered yesterday that when I unlock the car using the keyfob, the passenger door won't unlock! Its the same, even if I use the key on the passenger side :cuckoo: The door pin raises slightly, then falls and it just won't open no matter what I do! Is this a common fault? What can I do except take it to Volkswagen and get them to sort it out? :brickwall: Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted March 14, 2009 From what i've read on here Monkey the door pin is connected to a vacuum pipe that is connected to a pump. Could be the pump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MonkeyVR6 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Its working again now!! :brickwall: I don't know whats more annoying, it not working, or it working again now?! Guess I'll take it to Volkswagen anyway to get the pump replaced, it can't be that expensive and at least it'll never happen again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont be too sure about that :? If you can hold a screwdriver im sure if you buy the part it'll be something that you could replace yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 15, 2009 find my thread i made recentely, i had this problem and it appeared that something just needed cleaning and greasing, my locks have been fine since Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leon263 0 Posted March 15, 2009 Central locking pump is very easy to replace. You will find it behind the carpet on the drivers side of the boot encased in a polystyrene box type thing. There is one multi pin plug and a vacuum pipe to remove. There are quite a few different types of pump actually and you should remove yours and get a part number off it first. Count the number of pins in the multi pin plug as well as some are 8, 10,11 or 12 and make sure you get the right one. New from VW they are around £120ish. Go onto e-bay and search for Corrado central locking pump and you should turn up one for £20 - £40. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it under the carpet where the spare wheel is, or is it in the 'side' bit of carpet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
