Central Locking Problem

Post by cjwardy »

Ok, so my central locking is playing up and I don't particularly fancy forking out to get it fixed.

Basically to sum up it seems there is a leak somewhere in the system. This has caused the motor/pump to overload and burn out. So I've purchased a new one.

I now need to try and find the leak! This will be the fun part.

Has anyone had this before or does anyone know of probable places that the leak could be? This will hopefully speed up my search for the leak!

Cheers,
Chris

3 or 5 door for one?

Any it could be in the boot join, the front door bellows (its a join in there), or anywhere in the pipes. Which of the locks work?

3 door.

Managed to strip the boot and drivers door yesterday to no avail.

Basically the pump is whining and whining but no action is coming from any of the locks. So I presue I have a leak?
