Default doorlock problem, air pump?

Hi Guys , I dont know if any of you have been through this before ...I feel every time I have a problem with my a4 1.8T , they are the most weird ones...


Ok , my doorlocks wont unlock or lock...1st thing I did was to replace the key batteries, no success....then I went to see for the pump ...

Pump electric motor was definitaly working as I could ear a sound when pushing on the unlock button on my key... I decided to remove the two connectors on the pump and realized that no air is goig out of the pump (even if I can ear the electric motor turning on)

Is my pump dead? Do I need to change all the assembly or only some parts could fix it ...Please help me as Im not an expert and would really like to fix this problem as soon as possible ...


Im not sure if the fact that no air is going out of the pump after i removed the two pipe connectiors on it means that I have an air pump failure ....


Help would be greatly appreciated ...

Thank you very much and have a great day

theres a graphite wheel in there that implodes when it feels like it. If you can hear the motor then thats your problem. rip the central locking pump apart and you will see.

Would have to find a good one in the yard or a part out. Unless someone knows of a company that makes them.
