General MK2 Problems...Central Locking Problems, Rotor Arm....

[raks.2008]

Hi...

I have a 1992 MK2 GTi, and 2 weeks ago my central locking stoppped working. I was adviced on here that it would be the pump located on the left hand side in the boot. I changed this with my mates one just to make sure but still the central locking did not work...

Now I have no idea whats wrong.... Can any1 please help.....

My other question is what do you experience when you need a new rotor arm....? Does the car not rev easily or does it not pick up speed at lower revs easily....?

Thanks

Exactly the same trouble im having with mine. I have now bought 2 pumps from scrappys and still no joy. Mine makes a whirr noise from motor but still does not operate all locks. Any ideas??

its the vaccum pipes that are split or disconnected. Check all of the piping and you should find afew broken ones.

Hi..

I have been told that on the drivers door there is a seperate motor mechanism on factory fitted Central Lockings. Maybe there is some problem from there. I will try from there or just run along the whole of the vacume hose and figure out if there a leak at all.

The funny thing is that i can hear on the drivers door that the doors are trying to lock but in actual fact it does not lock....

eerrghhhhhhhhhhhh........!

to find out if you have a leaky pipe, disconnect the pipe from the pimp, blow down it have someone in the car to listen for any leaks.
You wont hear any if the pump is going, i had that trouble, it was a lose pipe i could hear the air leak 

good luck.

yeah blow into it but to truly find out if its leaking, tape off the other end or get a mate to put his thumb over it and blow in the other end of the pipe. If theres a leak you will be blowing, if theres no leak then all the air in your lungs will remain in your lungs

would that work the other way round?
