wrxfifer Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hi with knowing Zero about these cars need to find out everything from scratch hence on here. anyway when put key in drivrrs door it only unlocks that door and not the other side? what we have been doing is pressing the door lock knob down when passenger door open then closing and that locks door, but when you get in have to lean ovet abf manually open passenget door using the lock handle!!! surely there must be a way of sorying this so central locking works? surely a 2003 car has it?

mk2 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 You have an "E" specification car. You need an "S" spec car for the extras... There's info on here somewhere listing all the differences between models. My fav are the tilt and slide seats you get on the S models.

JoeyEunos Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 This is the most entertaining thing I've seen on the internet for 2019.... There's a lot of the year left, but the 'Man with no central locking wonders why his central locking doesn't work' thread is going to take some beating.

There is another around somewhere though. It looks easy though. You're simply mounting two high torque solenoids to the door frame and then attaching them to the pin that pulls up and down. I can't see how you could get a whole lot wrong. That said, the hardest part will be ensuring the pin pulls up and down 100% of the time and there isn't any catching or unnecessary friction. I've seen it done incorrectly on a Lupo before to be fair, so it's not 100% idiot proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
