central locking kits for mk2's

[Haribo!]

the boot pop and the other bits are on a seperate plug

ah, so il still need to run new cables to my boot?

aye, you only need a live feed tho, the earth you can piggy back onto the wiper earth. if you didint want your rear wiper could take it off and use the wires from that for the pop. the wiper wires come out into the C pillar, could unplug it there and plug in your boot pop wiring, that would save doing any modification to your wiring loom then

[Haribo!]

well ive got wires going back there anyway for the existing central locking motor I put in last week, so I could just connect the new wires to them? They pass thru my boot at the mo cause they come from the motor in my petrol flap.

you could use them but you would obv loose the central locking in the boot, cant have the cl and boot pop running thru the same wires see

hmm, im confused now, I thought that the boot button with that particular kit just unlocked the boot central locking motor, is there an extra motor in the kit for a boot pop aswell?

[rubjonny]

oh no, what its for is to pop the boot open like on posh motors!  the central locking will still work as before to lock and unlock the boot and petrol flap

thats odd, it doesnt say it that it includes any sort of boot release motor but it does include "boot release" as a feature and has a boot button on the fob...

am I supposed to use on of the standard motors in the boot?

[rubjonny]

yeah the boot pop motor/solenoid isn't included as std, though they do sell a kit for it.  you can try using one of the cl actuators and a rubber band so it retracts once popped, im sure i read that someone did that somewhere?

I just used one of the rear door solenoids for the boot pop, I'll see if I can dig out the picture of how it is setup.
