Locking or Alarm problem
felix:
Hi folks
Having a problem with the c/locking on my 300TDi. Once you drop the locks there is a slight pause then they pop back up again. This is a right PITA as it doesn't always happen unless you are in a hurry or parking where you really need it locked. If you drop the locks with the fob then when they pop back up it sets of the alarm - I guess it thinks its being broken into.
Any ideas? I assume the c/locking unit either thinks the locks arn't down or is getting someother false info from a sensor?

Yeap, mine's doing it too. One of your locks isn't going down properly so the whole system re-opens the locks. I'm failry sure it'l be one of the front ones. Liberlay caot with WD40 and work it in to the mechanism manually.
I find in desparation that if I pump the ofending lock, in the carpark scenario, that it behaves. Just to be doubly sure I put the key into the passenger side (the offending lock) and make sure it's fully locked, sometimes as the mechanism wears it may look locked but a thief can force it open.
On RRR some little toewrag tried to force the handle anyway, and bust it for me :evil:

Just a thought could it be the under bonnet switch?

Jees! these modern cars are crazy. I wish I could stick to my Series IIa.
Is there any particular way these fail?
