MaxLegroom 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Does anybody else concur with my theory that garages deliberately break something when you take your car in for a service?(!) Since getting my VR6 back from it's annual service, the central locking now doesn't do a thing when alarming the car. The door locks don't actuate and I have to resort to using the key to open both passenger and driver doors.Does anybody know where i'd check the fuse for this to see if it's easily remedied?

Chrisdut 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 have a look it the rubber boot between the a piller and the front door, you may find som broken wires inside that may cause this fault, other than that check all the fuse's under the dash on the drivers side, you drop the cover and they are infront of you Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 look in the boot first!!! the central locking pump is housed under the inner lip of the back panel, its in a funny little grey foam housing, sometimes they get disturbed by clumsy grease monkeys and play up, just check its all connected properly and making a noise when you operate the lock.

SankysVR6 1 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Take it back to the garage that did the service and see what they have to say about it.That would be my first point of call. Link to post Share on other sites

MaxLegroom 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Well as usual, nobody at the dealership wanted to know without wanting to sting me £90 plus vat per hour to take a look - honestly - would it kill them to take a quick look for a frequent and loyal customer!The pump in the boot is making it's usual noise but I'm wondering if it's suction ability has deminished so much that it's not working properly. Does anybody know whether, if I take the air line off the pump, whether I should be able to feel it sucking air when it's activated, or whether it blows air? It seems to be doing neither.

Chrisdut 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 it does both, sucks when locking and blows when unlocking, if the pump is doing this then is a break in the system pipe work or door actuator Link to post Share on other sites
