central locking problem after a monsoon in york

[mikecmr]

after it totally chucked it down earlier i cant seem to open car witht he thob only withthe key, had it on vag com and came up with 01365- internal central locking on B+ anyone else had this before?

Do all the electric windows work correctly?? If they are ok it may need a key recode.

If the windows do not work it sounds like some water has got into the unit.

The central locking unit is located in the boot under the o/s rear light.

yeah all windows work fine i had a new drivers side rear light fitted a few weeks back do you think it could of leaked?

does the central locking work when opening with the key, is anything else not working, ie, interior lights. if all is ok it might just need re-synching with the central locking controller by unlocking the car then pressing the button for about 5 seconds

ok had it apart and looks like my new light has been leaking and there was around an inch of water where the central locking unit is, cleaned it all out blown the unot out with air vag-com says no errors but still not working correctly do you think its time for a new unit?

[shineydave]

they're sealed pretty well, gaskets etc in there, you might be lucky, as i said earlier, is everything else working ok?

[mikecmr]

if i try to open the doors with the key i have to beat the car to open the door before it locks it again then i have to turn ingnition on and then open all doors by the switch on the door really stressing me out now haha.

yeah the units are tight but i noticed under one of the connectors lots of blue dust looked like it was a burnt capicator

New unit me thinks. May even need to clean some of the connections if any are discoloured
