Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Aus delivered GTIs have central locking?

    Calling all people with Aus delivered Gtis

    Did they all have central locking? is it the vacuum operated type?

    Cheers.

          thanks guys. I've misplaced the long connecting rod from the vacuum actuator and the lock itself, if I can't find it good to know I'll be able to pinch one off an Aussie car.

          My car is a euro import.

            If I were you I'd replace it with aftermarket central locking kit.
            Previous owner of my current Mk2 did that, much better than the 20+ old vacuum operated CL.

              It's vacuum and pump to be picky.

              I'm surprised ours is still reliable being 21 years old.

                          mine didnt work when I first bought the car because a hose had come loose at the rear door. I had to plug the pipe and the door locks worked again. Unfortuanatlly some previous owner removed the fuel filler cover lock, probably because it wouldnt work with the central locking and I have to find a new one )-:
