Central Locking Problems

[cornishbloke]

Hiya all, please help.

I have a 2001 (Y reg) Leon Cupra. After being on holiday for a week and then using my car for the 1st time after that period, my car developed a central locking problem, that has never occured since I have had the car...

After I have turned the engine on, the doors lock themselves, to unlock the doors, i either have to turn the engine off and use the key fob (I have remote central locking) or press the locking button on the drivers door controls next to the window switches.

This problem went away at the beginning of the week, but has now returned.

Does anyone know what the cause is and what the solution is, please????

Thanks for all your help!

P.S...... The CL has also failed to unlock the doors on one or two occasions (unlocks ok with the key).

you central locking is staring to jam up! (due cold weathers). i had problem with audi a3 once where i could open doors from the inside some times.

The way around for way use a special form grease. i sprayed it where the door catch is and even took the door card sprayed into locking mechanism. did wonders that grease.

Hope this helps for you as well

Problem solved!!! was something to do with the drivers door lock/aprts. it cost 160 quid to repair, 90 of that was the part
