Remote locking??
« on: April 11, 2008, 14:49:35 »
Hi again,

Now, I have 2 RRC with remote locking /alarm/immoboliser on them and on the 93 Tdi all is now well. If I want to lock car without using key fob, I can do this by opening a rear door and pushing a front door lock down, which will lock remaining doors and stay locked when I close the rear door.

If driving thru some dodgy areas (say like somewhere you only go back to, to visit your wheel hubs) if I lock drivers door all remaining locks will engage.  This is all in the 93 Tdi.

Now, in the 1986 V8 efi keyfob locks all doors and red light flashes (in theory telling me that car is alarmed / immobolised) but manually pushing down a front lock does not engage remaining locks, is something wrong or are they perhaps different systems??  :-k

Cheers
Rgds  David

1986 doesn't have a factory alarm system whereas the 93 does. so they are entirely different.

On the '86 tthe central locking only worked from the driver's door.

Thanks RRB,

Still only locks all locks on key fob though, if I push drivers lock down nothing else locks.

Mind you alarm works cos me boy opened something and all hell broke lose. Still that gives me peace of mind  :cool:

The alarm might have been fitted in place of the original control box then which was somewhere in the driver's footwell or dash IIRC.

Spot on  oh all knowing one  :clap:

Got a key to disable if needed so I'm pretty happy with that and I found LPG for 51.1 today so a good end to my week. :)

Mine was the same till i dunked it  :lol: Remote aftermarket alarm  ;)

The drivers door lock actuator is changed to a slave (operated by another) rather than a master (controls the others) as the original was KEY operated and just told the others to lock.

Read it slowly, i not that good at explaining  :? :?
