Power locks pump
Has anyone had problems with their Power Locks?
I have an A4 1.8 Quattro and my dealer tells me that I need to change the
pump as it is unserviceable.
New pump with labour is 1300 $ Canadian.
I think I am getting ripped off.
Any ideas?

Re: Power locks pump
Donny,
Wow, that's a chunk of cash. Check out VM Autohaus at www.vmautohaus.com to
find the price of the part. As far as the location of the pump in the A4 -
I'll have to defer to the A4 folks in the group - in my 5ktq it's right
beside the battery under the back seat and takes all of about 10 minutes to
change.
When you've replaced the pump, take the old one apart to see why it failed -
the pump in my 5k died years ago and when I took it apart I found a corroded
circuit connection - it's still working with the repair I did.
Cheers!

In my '87 VW GTi, that pump has been pumping for 17 years without a
problem. $1300 is ludicrous, even if it is CAD. I would go harvest one
at a junkyard. Take your out first and open the noise insulation so you
know what the pump looks like, then check VWs and Audis at the junkyard
for an identical pump. My guess is that it will set you back the
equivalent of USD 20, and replacing it is not very hard work. I have
seen older Mercedses at the junker that use the same pneumatic type door
locks as VW / Audi, wouldn't surprise me if they use the same pumps too.
