nivag27 5 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I have just replaced my central locking pump as the last one burnt out, and it now works but it only locks the car, it wont unlock it, does any bpdy know what could be causing the problem. Link to post Share on other sites
nivag27 5 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 The pump sucks to lock the car, but does not blow to open it. But if I dsconnect the air pipe and lock it the pump keeps sucking and if I open it like this the pump will then start blowing, so to make sense of it if I suck blow suck blow with the pipe of its fine but if I suck cover the hole and then try to blow it wont blow Link to post Share on other sites
nivag27 5 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 If I get the pump blowing first and then put the pipe back on it opens everything but If I try it with the pipe connected it does nothing at all? Link to post Share on other sites

nivag27 5 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Thanks Ben but its a new pump and I have delocked door handles just to make matters worse, there is some reason why the pump wont blow when it is connected??? Link to post Share on other sites
nivag27 5 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Do you know how to take the pump apart, I have taken the cover off but the internals dont want to come out and I dont want to force it out???? Link to post Share on other sites
lumoruk 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Have you fixed this yet? My fuse 21 blew which controls the central locking, clock and interior lights. I had to open the doors manually to get in I've replaced the fuse but now my central locking only sucks the doors shut, not blowing any more. The fuse blew after I had locked the car so I think it's stuck in suck mode lol Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Maybe theres aproblem with the solenoid in your door as apposed to the pump at the rear. does it work correctly off the key Link to post Share on other sites
lumoruk 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 No it's not a VR6 I wish, so no remote for the central locking. Link to post Share on other sites
lumoruk 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 UPDATE:I kind of had a little panic when I went to my car as I couldn't even open it from the outside with the key, the 3 minute deadlock had kicked in. A couple of twists to the right then a left undid it though. So the solution to my problem was I had to pull the fuse out then unlock all the doors and boot from the inside then plug the fuse back in hey presto back to it's original setting and all working again. Whilst I was fiddling with my golf I also fixed the boot lock for the 3rd time in 6 yrs. Link to post Share on other sites
