Title: Central Locking Woes !!!
Post by: sdall30 on 23 September 2010, 16:02

I've got a 91 4 door MK2 GTI with the air operated central locking, I recived a knock at the door last night from the lad who lives next door.
The locks were going up and down , up and down, the only thing that would stop it was unlocking the doors with the key.

this has happend once or twice before and I had checked the system over , there were no apparent leaks. Anybody encountered this before?

Any ideas of probable causes / fixes / things to check over ?

all help gratefully recieved.

Cheers
Stuart

Could be a seized rod somewhere. The boot mech is particularly prone to seizing.
