d8 rear central locking

Post by pugestate72 »

hi i have a problem with my r reg turbo diesel estate, the rear doors have developed a mind of there own wen it comes to locking and unlocking. one day they will both be ok lock and unlock on the fob then one will not unlock then both wont unlock then both will work ok, there doesnt seem to be a pattern to just as and when. any ideas what is causing this and how can i fix it? its a nitemare with a kid in one arm the shopping in the other and the rear door wont open. cheers for any advice

mine have been working fine past week but they do play up from time to time

as ste said it will be an electrical fault. probably the loom that goes into the door from the B pillar.
