having problems with central locking on my gti 6.. turn the key to lock it and it unlocks itself straight away. i have been removing fuse so can leave it secure in car parks etc at the moment.. i sprayed the mechanisms yesterday with some wd40 just incase one was sticking a wee bit and it worked all night until this morning it has gone back to the way it was.. ive tried more lube and bit cleaning but still not working, could it be a faulty connection, lock etc. what can i test to determin what is causing the problem. any info is gratefull

thanks mate only prob is my key does not work the boot but this could be the problem that the boot lock is seized. ill have a good look at weekend to see if can sort out if not ill do what you suggested

thanks again mate

hi mate i aint got fob key just the normal one.. doh!!! thanks anyways mate

+1 on that, mine is the reverse, it locks itself (Not so bad) i dont have a check strap on the drivers side, and it is definatly the door loom, wires have split and cause a short. its intermittent and is mostly normal, just sometimes it has a "French" moment, can take the door loom apart, strip the wires and resolder which will sort it.

but as said not had problems with it....


until last week at the parents house, left the engine running, put the windows up then got out to open the garage, the bas**rd locked itself (but obviously doesnt deadlock) so luckily Mr AA Man with his Wedges and inflatable air pockect took about 30 seconds to get in. but the key fob (first time ive had one, thanks to mech repairs!!) locks/deadlocks/unlocks
