The air powered centrol locking is a pain, not the least because of the high cost of a replacement circuit board.

I can't quite remember how I overcame the problem. I think I applied either pressure or suction to the air pipe to unlock everything and then once everything was unlocked I was able to manually lock and unlock each door and in this case the boot lid. The fuel flap was left unlocked without problems.

SOURCE: vw transporter 05 central locking not working

water ingress in wiring loom below drivers seat, mainly loss of power to pin 23 middle multi plug blue and red wire middle multi plug.

remove drivers seat/frame trace wire back to corroded connection and repair. you may also have to remove passenger seat depending on where the break is. dealer quotes upto 2 hrs

2003 VW GOLF REAR door wont open

The rear door lock actuator has failed in the door locking unit this is a common problem you can manually unlock the door to replace the latch if you didn't have the deadlocking on if you cant try pressing the locking button twice so when the car is locked the flashing red light is not blinking ie off on the drivers. Doing this usually causes the faulty lock to release the dead locking so you can pull the inside handle to unlock the door.

Vw golf mk4 my rear passenger door willnot open with central locking key system. i can't even open it from the inside, pull the door handle and the lock pin rises but door won't open. i believ

This worked for me on 2008 Mk5 Golf, after the rear passenger door would not open fro outside or inside.

Hold the inside door latch open and keep it extended, then with the key fob open and close the door locks (still holding the inside latch open). Keep locking and unlocking the door, then it made a kluck and it released.

CENTRAL LOCKING NOT WORKING HAVING TO USE KEY BUT UNABLE TO OPEN PETROL DOOR TO PUT PETROL IN CAR.

central door locking need further information, but to petrol in is very simple: in the right hand side of your boot straight behind the fuel door you find a cable, if you pull it it will release the door

Soleniod pump

it sounds like its the air type which is the most common ones before about 1998 on vw. you can try to locate the pipes inside the boot compartment (which is where the pump should be as well) and then just plug it with a screw temporarily. i think the rubber boot on your fuel pump's solenoid is also bust so you are going to have to pull the lever inside the boot to open the fuel flap. i prefer to leave my fuel flap disconnected as you dont have to open all the doors of the car to open the fuel flap. hope this helps.
