hello

 

i have a GTI 6n2 3 door and central locking pump in  boot and both front door lock barrels are broken. Central locking pump circuit has burned inside. so no locking / unlocking available via key either due to broken barrels. Wanted to know if a cheaper aftermarket remote locking kit will still work independant of standard pump in the boot or does the actual pump has to be in working condition for the aftermarket kit to work. Secondly I have bought a kit and connected everything with the wires in the boot to the pump and aftermarket kit is operating fine but does not lock or unlock via remote. Just wondered if the pump must be in working condition for the remote to lock  / unlock. Thanks.

The aftermarket remote locking kits normally just signal the locking pump unit, you can get "universal" kits that use actuators that pull/push on the locking pin but by the time you have stripped the door down to fit them you might as well just replace the paddle on the end of the normal door lock
