Central Locking on S3's

[macwalsh]

Was this a standard feature on all S3's (as listed in Steve Heaths book) or was it a case of some have it some dont - depending on what was in the parts bin when the car was made. It may be that I have got C/L but its broken - anyone got any experience of fixing it if this is the case. Also - if its not standard fit - is there any easy way of checking if the car has had it fitted ie the presence of a relay etc - I have only just got the car and don't fancy dismantling door trims just yet to check out the locks. Thanks very much guys Andy

Thanks very much guys - LeeBee - how easy is it to fit and could I incorporate it into my alarm, or am I being too optomistic ? Thanks again Andy Edited by macwalsh on Wednesday 9th May 08:53

Matt, I'll give that a try once the car comes back from the main dealers (exhaust manifold blowing - being fixed under warranty)It's H411 CSP by the way. Cheers Andy

Cheers guys - seems like a mis-print in Mr Heath's book then. Anyway - I have other things to worry about now - while the car was in the dealers having the manifold gaskets replaced the bolts have sheared off. Dealer is arranging for the cylinder heads to be removed and the offending bits drilled/machined out. They reckon about a week to 10 days. I've only had the car 13 days and half the engines being removed just as we approach the hottest weekend so far this year, Where's the justice eh? Mind you, I s'pose I could ask them to check for C/L while the car's there.
