Title: Noise from central locking pump (video)
Post by: madsb on 26 April 2013, 13:43: I feel like nothing I change on this car "just works" hahah :rolleyes: see video:

So it seems that the pump works as the others door open too. Notice however, that I am unable to press down the lock on the drivers door again. I should be able to do that, right?

I haven't actually run it for longer than this, afraid that it's gonna blow up lol... I just pull the plug as in the video.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

Post by: madsb on 26 April 2013, 16:45: Same part number, same manufacturer. I believe that the pump is working perfectly, but as mentioned here it must be something with the lines...

willz you said something about something in one of the hoses? Could you specify?

tweed regarding the fuel filler flap I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Do you mean the cover that reveals the fuel cap? Does yours open electronically? - mine opens just by pressing on one side of it.

Anyway, checked the lines in the door connectors and they seem fine, which actually is annoying, as I could imagine that those were the most prone to splitting, which means I don't know where to look from now :p...

Any suggestions?

Post by: willz94 on 26 April 2013, 17:03: mines got a smoothed tailgate so the pipe that would have gone to the boot lock had somthing jammed in it causing the pump to keep pumping, and what tweed is saying is not to forget the vacum line going to that fuel flap as it locks when the car does, try pressing it to get it to open when the cars locked, you will have trouble getting it open

Post by: madsb on 27 April 2013, 15:31: ah cool, didn't know about the fuel filler flap. anyway I just tried it again and just went around the doors listening. Right rear door is hissing so I guess I the source of the problem :). any suggestions regarding how exactly to fix it?

Post by: willz94 on 28 April 2013, 15:24: take the door card off find if theres a hole in the line and repair the hole

Post by: b_boy02 on 28 April 2013, 22:37: I had the exact same problem with the associated hissing from the door. There is a screw on conduit, from the door pillar into the door by the hinge, which carries electrics and air pipe. I simply tightened the connection where it meets the door pillar and this solved the problem!

I'm really not sure where you mean... Could you clarify?
