central

Hi Guys. I recently (2 months ago) bought a clean Mercedes C180 W202 1995 model. All was working well until a few days back when all of a sudden the central locking stopped working properly. The car would unlock but not lock. I brought in a so called Central locking expert who said the...

So there we were, driving along as you do, when the tailgate central locking actuator starts up of it's own accord and just keeps going. I couldn't stop it and after a minute or so it was making a fairly horrible noise. Pulled over and had bit of a panic when I realised I couldn't open the...

Can't recommend the job Steve Galloway just did on my Golf R highly enough. Will post pics tomorrow. He is in Livingston a couple of minutes off M8 SGDetailing.com | Protection with Perfection

Well, I'm now about onto my 4th used pump in as many months to solve an inoperative trunk lock. Today I opened it to go to the store, and upon returning in 30 minutes it no longer works. Same MO yet again. Everything else on the car works fine that uses vacuum, the trunk opening feature just...

Another issue has just come to light on my little project. I have just managed to get most of my central locking working for the first time by changing the vacuum pump. I say most as the driver's door still doesn't function properly but that's an issue I'll address once I get a replacement...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum; I have a couple of problems with my C230 Coupe 2001. The first one is the central locking isn't working off the fob. It works using the switch inside the car. I have changed the battery in the fob and the light in the fob is coming on. It was working if i put...

Just wondering if anyone has experienced a case of the central locking unlocking all the car but then only locking the passenger door, leaving the drivers door and boot unlocked. I'm thinking weak vacuum pump or air leak?

Hi Guys Just a quick one, (I hope). I've bought a used vacuum pump to replace mine as I'm having some locking issues with the boot. Q. Does the replacement unit need to be programmed in or can I simply swap over the air and two electrical connectors? Cheers :bannana:

Hi, names Karl, I have a 2005 CLK240 convertible. Central locking does not work from distance, only when fob is near to door handle (infra-red). Fuse number 8 in the boot keeps blowing. Looking for advice on what to do next. Thanks

Hello guys, just trying to solve a issue I had when I bought my R129, basically the previous owner had issues with the alarm system ( Clifford ) that was installed so he had the company out and they disconnected it, he said they took wires off, he said the alarm kept going off , he also had some...

Hi! I'm trying to fix my central locking on my 84 500 SEC (UK). When turning the key on the driver side, I can hear the pump click, which I assume is the relay and the pump doesn't actually come on... I also removed the pump and connected it directly to the battery and same thing again...

Just needs a little tune/checkover maybe... Gearbox Modulator upgrade? Thanks in advance..

Hi , My C270 CDi central locking has started occasionally refusing to work & then only works when close to the car. Also I have lost all MW radio stations. My wife's SLK (171) has an amplifier for the central locking built into the radio antennae....does anyone know if the W203 has a similar...

Hi everyone I have a problem with my CLK1999 cab my central locking isn't working via the key nor the switch inside the car. My front windows don't work nor does my mirrors and I can't get in the boot as that's locked how ever my rear head rests sill work. Anyone know the cause please. Matt:dk:

Hi folks, I parked my w202 up locked it and walked away, now upon my return the car won't unlock, I've tried the emergency key but that's not working either, short of smashing a window do I have any other options? I've tried new battery's in the key fob also

Hi there, 'tis I...again seeking more help, please. I got home last night and when I pushed the lock button on the keyfob, the central locking made a very funny clacking noise and I could see the door lock "knobs" jumping up and down, i.e. locking and unlocking in quick succession for a...

Ran out of time for the respray work I need done on my e55. Just had a silly money quote in edinburgh compared to what I had been quoted in London. Any recommendations for really good body shop anywhere in central belt thats not a rip off much appreciated. Also any good detailers for post...

The spheres need changing on my R reg S210 E300 DT. I have some Central Hydraulic Fluid and wanted to check if it's correct for the car. Part number A 001 989 20 03 12 Thanks Peter

Hi. I've been having this problem with my 2001 230k Cabrio. The central locking works fine, auto locking at speed etc. HOWEVER sometimes going over a bump OR taking a 90 degree turn (and sometimes even when going straight on a relatively smooth road) , both doors automatically unlock. I have...

Anyone know how it's supposed to work? I got a pump, which has a 3-pin connector and a 2-pin connector. If I apply power to the 2 pins, by manually switching the 2 relays inside it I can make it blow or suck. However. There's only a 3-pin plug supply in the boot to attach to it, so far as...
