mk3 central locking

[pablo64]

Hi all, just noticed a problem with my central locking, went to lock it earlier and it locks ok but the motor carries on running 20-30 seconds after iv locked it, then stops, does it sound like the motors gone, sounds coming from near filler cap, presume motor is there, any help appreciated, cheers

i had same problem mate, had the sound for several months then one day the motor completely gave up.

prob best to get a new motor to be honest. easy to swap out, its located in a polystyrene case underneath the drivers side rear light cluster.

make sure you get one with the same serial number on it

Could also be a loose pipe. I changed my door and the pipe came off in the loom. This sound happened until I reconnected it and it's been fine ever since.      Cheers      Deano

+1 on loose or split pipe, this would cause the pump unit to run on
