Car Locking Itself

[rob-s-]

Hi All,

i have noticed that when i unlock the car (press unlock button on key fob twice), all the doors onlock, but as soon as i open the drivers door, the car locks all of the other doors again.

I looked in the owners manual but cant find any mention of why the car would do this.

Has this happened to anyone else?

car is a 1.9 Roomster3

Sounds like it might be a didgy micro switch in the door.

If you have the drivers door open and press the lock button on the remote will it let you lock the car?

Thanks for the advice.

It does seem to be the microswitch as it locks the car as soon as the drivers door is opened (hence activating the switch).

I will give the dealer a ring and see what they say.

Quick update on this one: -

Just spoke to the service manager at my local Skoda dealer. He didnt seem to have encountered this type of thing before and said i would have to take the car to them for them to have a look so they can diagnose whats wrong. Thats fair enough.

I have booked the car in for next week so will see what they say.

He did mention that if it turns out to be a wiring fault it wouldnt be covered under warranty (Skoda warranty has expired on my car as its older than 3 years but im still within the dealer 12month warranty).

Final update.

Dealer changed the central locking module and recoded the keys and that seems to have fixed the problem.

I have to say Claybank Skoda (Manchester uk)service department have been excellent. I cant fault thm at all.
