evojay71 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Hi Guys The central locking hardly ever works on my GTI ever since I've owned it. Tonight I turned the key and it worked fine,it's a road rally car so it's not a major problem. When I disconnect the battery and reconnect it more often than not I hear the central locking actuators working I owned another GTI around 8 years ago and had the same problem but most of the time the central locking worked. I'm guessing it's maybe down to a central locking relay?? Could anyone confirm this or point me in the right direction on what to change please?? Cheers!!
