Hello,


I have recently purchased a 2006 polo TDI knowing it had a few electrical faults. One of these faults is that when the weather gets cold the central locking and windows fail to work. Stereo interior lights still work. Any ideas of where this issue could lie?


Many thanks

Welcome to the Forum.

 

One of the common faults for windows, mirrors and door locks, is wear that takes place inside the convoluted rubber conduit between the actual door, and the door pillar. This is due to constant opening and closing of the doors over time.

A visual inspection under this convoluted cover should be sufficient to reveal any broken or frayed wires.

 

Air temperature SHOULDN'T make much difference to this though, and I wouldn't have thought that there had been any frost in Leicester yet at this time of year which could have frozen up the mechanism inside the doors.

 

Regards
