Featured Replies

Good afternoon all I have a problem with my octy mk1 vrs rep. Since buy the car nearly 2 weeks ago the central locking doesnt work properly i only can only unlock my car via the door none of the buttons work and once unlocked it doesn't actually unlock the rear drivers side door I have to do that manually ive looked on YouTube but found nothing so im turning to you guys and gals. I also only had 1 key come with the car

The first thing you have to check is the wiring inside the plastic bellows of the A pillar of the car at driver's side. Most of the time cables do split and any kind of weird issues occurs.

Continuity checked or just looked at? You need to continuity check this wiring.

As above. It’s easy to just look. A wire can be broken and it look absolutely fine. The same goes for the connector blocks. You will need to do a continuity check, if you can’t do that the loom needs to come out and be physically checked. While it’s out you need to check the window regulator for corrosion too.
