Thats as clear as mud mate. Read it 4 times and still don't understand it. Can you try again with punctuation to help us understand what you're saying?
X plate Golf, one press opens drivers door, two presses opens all doors. One press locks all doors and flashes headlights
To disable the ultra sonic sensors on the alarm (ie on leaving a window open for a dog etc) you press a button at the bottom of the B pillar on the drivers side before locking with the remote, no headlight flashes.
Good luck

ok sorry for been unclear here goes
i have a 51 plate 1.8t sport bora and im having trouble with the central locking
the keyfob will not unlock all doors with 2 presses of the fob it will only open the drivers door
when the doors are locked/unlocked by the drivers door switch they operate normally by using this switch
when all doors are locked the keyfob will lock them all normally
ive been reading a few posts to try and find out what i can do about this but want to know if anyone has any ideas whats wrong
p.s when the drivers door is open with the headlights on the buzzer does not sound and the door light does not work just wondered if this had anything to do with the problem
hope that makes things clearer
cheers rich

The dealer is able to program the settings for the locking, maybe in this case the settings need to be redone by either a maindealer or independant with vagcom software. I presume it has always been like this?
|
ok will probably end up ringing the dealer to see what they say
and no the problem with the central locking has just started
the problem with headlight buzzer when door open and drivers door light has been like that since i got the car
many thanks for the info dox

Check the other key works in the same manner, could be that the battery in your regular use key is a little flat and can't make the second command. Good luck with it

p.s when the drivers door is open with the headlights on the buzzer does not sound and the door light does not work just wondered if this had anything to do with the problem
VWs are notorious for the wiring breaking on the loom that plugs into the door edge, usually its the window that doesnt work. Open the door and pull back the rubber concertina tube and check to see if any of the wires have broken off.
|
i now have the locking working fine this was because the car was stood for months and the procedure is to disconnect the battery to reset everything and it worked fine
the buzzer and light problem still exists and must be either a broken wire like you said dox or im thinking a faulty door switch,ive pulled the rubber back but i cant see anything
oh well ill look at the switch tomorrow
cheers

I had a similar problem with my lights-on buzzer on my MK4 Golf.
The door LOCK contains electrical contacts/switchs that control the light at the bottom of the door, it's this light going on and off that activates the buzzer, therefore if the light doesn't go on and off with the door latch then the buzzer won't work. I fixed it for a while by fiddling with the lock but in the end a new locking mechanism was the only permenant fix.

Good site for Golf and Bora with links for a fix for this somewhere.

It's probably the switches inside the door lock mechanism, using the key might tell you which one has the fault, here's a direct link to a guide on the fault, and how to repair it:

NOTE: "Time Required: 1.5-3 hours, depending on individual pace." Bank on 5 hrs for a Bora, unless you're quite handy/well practiced with that sort of thing...
