Aquired a new pump today out of a 3 door gti and it did work but now I put it in my car it makes the noise but is not locking or unlocking the car.

When I press the unlock on my key it makes that loud noise.

I can't seem to find a problim with leaking air.

Someone please help.

Sounds like a Door lock air leak to me.. had a similar problem. whip both door cards off exposing the lock mechanism. Try unlocking and locking whilst pushing the air connector on the mechanism- see if that works. you may be able to hear the air leaking somewhere even. Joe
