Title: Central locking
Post by: jenkiam on September 27, 2020, 10:26:20 AM
I have an issue with the CL pump where it runs for 20 odd secs after the doors are open/locked. I've even swapped in a spare pump but the same happens, any ideas what theissue is here??

This happens when you have a vacuum leak.

So is thats likely to be a leak in the pipework do you think?

sounds that way. Most likely a split pipe where it goes through the boot hinge or the doors. 3 dr or 5 door? Obviously less doors to check on a 3 door. as it's only the passenger side, the drivers side is the master switch and that's electric.

I wonder if listening for hissing would be enough to help you find it ?? good luck
