Sammie'sLupo Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Hi all,I want to install central locking on my Little Lupo. To get it installed by a local company its going to cost me around £200, which is a lot I wondered if its easy enough to do it myself (or the Boyf!!) and what parts do I need? I've seen a few sets on eBay for about £25 but it seems too cheap?!Any advice/links/help would be great Thanks,SammieThis is what I found on eBay:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380208669563&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en#ht_1355wt_754 Edited March 13, 2011 by Sammie'sLupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZombieJosh Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Cheers guys. Spoke to my insurance company today and they are having to check whether or not they'll let me do it myself. It might be that they'll only let me have it if I get it installed professionally... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiadeano Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi, I've done this on my arosa, ill put a few pics up for u, it was a long job I had to reome some of my dash to get to and hide all the wireing, I know I wired the flashers to the hazard switch. The drivers front actuator is the most complex because this controls the other locks, the other actuators just have two wires to them, even though I installed my correctly i had a few problems with the lock actuators not pulling the lock down far enough it took a lot of adjusting, My advice is to study where your going to put everything, ie control unit and which way your guna run all wires, sorry if this isn't really helpfull but ill put some pics up if u want to show you how mine was installed.

Kiadeano Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Or and the door actuator wires I got with the kit weren't long enough, so I'd check all wires will be long enough before you start, lay them out where their goin to go.
