whatcar? mk2's are vacuum and you will therefore be leak testing and mk3's are electric (i think)

in the drivers door is the actuator for the electric pneumatic pump in the boot, the other doors and boot all work on vacuum to lock and pressure to unlock, the pump is in the boot by the passenger rear light cluster in a foam padded thing

in which case just check all the connections and earths are sound and that the motors havent seized i suppose, bit hard to say as it appears to be aftermarket
