central locking pump...problems

My central locking is becoming painfully slow and I could probably walk round and lock everything by hand in the time it takes it to do it automatically.

Is this a pump problem and is there any way to "spruce" it up a bit?
I thought of removing load from it by oiling every moving part in sight...but am guessing after 15 years of service it may be something else.

any thoughts

 

no-one!?

 

Feck me not even a couple of veiwings let alone some advice!!

 

I thought they were all sealed up........perhaps its time for a new one.

 

I bought one today from breakers for a tenner,
but iam having problems with it, as it seemed to work
once the first time and has'nt worked since so it may
be faulty

 

If it dont move and it should : WD-40
If it does move and it shouldnt : Gaffer tape

Give everything a good lube up!

 

Check for air leaks on pipe's where they go through the door's.My mate had a simalar problem on his Audi A4 and it turned out it had a slight leak on one of the central locking acctuators.You just need to listen very carefully after you've opperated the central locking

 

a ha.. a sensible idea at last
Cheers
My 'kin Audi does it as well!!

 

Ok my problem seems to have someting to do with the
switch because if i unplug the pump and plug it in again
it seems to reset its self and it'll lock once but not unlock ?

Any ideas is the barrel the problem ?

 

Try locking and unlocking from the passenger side see what happens

 

thats what mine does, only works on central from the passenger side but actually locks the drivers door when i do this

 

It's probably got a faulty acctuator on the drivers side then.

 

Mine does nothing from the passenger side
