buckminster7 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hi guys. I am a newbie and have a 1999 Lupo 1.4S (green!). Unfortunately experiencing a couple of problems:1. The central door locking mechanism starts clicking on and off while driving along. The door lock knobs don't move but you can hear the mechanism clicking away like mad; and2. When unlocking the car both electric windows roll down. Once inside the car they can be put back up with the switches as per normal. Any thoughts much appreciatedCheersAndrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 1. Remote central locking?2. Aftermarket remote central locking?3. Sounds like something going on behind the bonnet release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckminster7 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 You need to insert key into driver's door which unlocks both doors - so I guess its not remote. Is the fuse box behind the bonnet release? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 There is a software function that is in some older VWs, which may be in the Lupo. not sure... If you put your key in the door, open it, and hold it in the open position, the windows will wind down. Do the opposite- hold in lock door, they all close. It might be that the lock mech is sticking in the lock/unlock position, causing the switch contact to close. Might just need a good squirt of oil.

buckminster7 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks Mk2 will give it a try although does WD40 qualify as oil in your book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
