Hello,
I have an x reg (2000) petrol 1.4 A2.
I have a few problems with it. The one I want to discuss here is the locking on the right hand side doors. I can unlock the car from the keyfob and all doors unlock. When sat in the car, the lock and unlock button on the drivers door works, but doesn't lock the 2 doors on the right. I can lock the drivers door with the key, which locks it, the 2 left doors and arms the alarm. The right hand rear door is missing a rubber stopper and I have to shove my finger in and flip the lock inside to lock it. I have had a VAG com on there and (I haven't got the codes on me) it said something about not being ready. I can post the exact error later. Once this locking action has been tried on the fob, the unit ignores any further presses for 60 seconds and then will accept an unlock again. Is this faulty lock modules, wiring or something else? I've had a look at the A-pillar wiring and it looks OK. I have however found behind the panel where the petrol cap button is, a wire that has been cut which is brown and cream, which has a resistor connected and then taped over. I can't see any wire where it has been cut from. I didn't want to take it off, could this be related? What steps can I take to check, I don't see how both locks won't lock , but will unlock from the fob. The person that sold me this was a right cowboy. When I got back from buying it, 3 bolts, were barely on, on the front right wheel, I sorted that. Weeks later there was a loud bang and no drive train. (turns out that the drivers side drive shaft hadn't been bolted on properly and sheared through the nuts. Local garage re-attached and it's now OK, although there is still clicking in the right side, which I'm told is a top mount and strut. Which I have bought but am struggling to get my mechanic friend to fit.
Amy ideas about the locks welcome please.
Regards
