Some problems with MK4 GTI 180 '03' Please help somebody

[Jayy]

 

Just brought a MK4 golf gti 1.8t 180 on a 2003/03

Wondering if someone could please advise me on the following problems:-

I have VCDS genuine copy, so if anything needs to be checked please advise how, and I will..

1) Only the drivers door and boot will open, all other doors remain as if they are deadlocked, will not open inside or out. - VCDS said central locking module (if its this, where is it?)

2) Idle control valve - Revs drop low, does not cut out, but drops quite low, can this part be cleaned? where is it located on a 1.8T?

3) possible electrical fault, when driving traction light will come on, and sometimes with the ABS light, however when scanned, there is no issue.

Other than that, drives spot on, and well impressed with only 62k on there.

Are the brake lights working Ok?

[Jayy]

Brake lights seem to be working fine..

Someone else said something about a convenience module behind the steering wheel? Would you advise going with the one in the door? and will changing that one really fix the other doors? Seems a little too good too be true?

before spending any money on new parts just try this, disconnect the battery, sit down, have fag or coffee, reconnect battery and try the locking, you will prob find the locking is working as it should

If this works I owe you a bottle!

lol, i sorted 3 mk4s week before last doing this, im sure it will sort yours mate 

post up how you get on dude

[Jayy]

Im going to go disconnect it now, will post back in 30, thanks mate

Ok once reattached, drivers door works, boot works, and passenger rear door.

Drivers rear, and passenger door still wont open, wont open from the inside, outside, door handle, there dead locked

[Jayy]

Now the back ones packed up again..

Would this be caused by the door module, or the one behind the steering wheel?

could be either mate. Might be worth disconnecting the CCM and seeing if it will let you open the doors manually?
