central locking

[VR6_ROB]

hey all i just got central locking well its in the post

how do i hook it up so it works off my alarm fob
i got 2 wires going into my doors doin nothing and the
guy said they are for central locking if i ever get it

If its anything like mine these 2 wires are swithing. i.e press the alarm and the wire will be +. Press again and it will now be an earth or -. Basicly you hook the cl motor up to use these to wires. so with one push of the fob the motor pulls the solonoid to close and when you push the button again the motor pushes the solonoid and opens the door. Hope you followed that.

Right thats an origional kit. You will however need to source the rods for the front doors as they are longer i think. Would check for you but dont have access to etka at the mo. As for adding your alarm to the kit a bit more is required. You will need a standard 12v central locking door solonoid. This is what your 2 alarm wires will power. You then need to clamp the rod from the oe kit to the new solonoid rod. I think what im saying here is correct. Maybe somebody else can confirm. I will check my setup at the weekend if i get a chance.

sounds complicated now 
i dont really undertsand electrics

how much more do the parts cost that i would need roughly

[Judderi]

No no its not that complicated at all.

Simply install the kit you have bought first. You will need to order the 2 connecting rods from vw. The part numbers are:

LEFT DOOR ROD = 191 837 297
RIGHT DOOR ROD = 191 837 298

Once all installed and working you need to go out and buy a Central locking door solonoid like this

Then all you do is connect your 2 wires to the new solonoid and clamp the 2 rods to each other. Thats it!
