central locking

alright ppl :-) not sure if this is the right place to post this but….

does anyone know where i can get central locking from for my mk1 golf??

Just buy a universal kit off ebay.  Like this one.
If you have an alarm already just get a non remote one, so long as your alarm has the function to control locking it should be able to operate it.

ace….cheers for that, is that a good price, i have no idea as i havent looked around yet?

do you know wheres the best sort of places to go to get it fitted?

Simple enough to diy fit, all thats needed is a few screwdrivers, allen keys and a small drill.  Couple of connectors for the electrics to do.  You could get pretty much any garage to fit it but i cant see it being worth the cost.

why do you think they will charge a lot?

ive signed up to a local vw forum so maybe if i put a post on there someone would be able to help me out, as i know i wont be able to fit them myself ha  :dontknow:

Time based they'd prob charge for a 2-3 hours labours, prob looking at best part of ?100 to fit a ?20 part, seems silly to pay that much to me, find a mechanic who'll do it as a guvvy job, be much cheaper that way.

ok cheers for the advice :-) yea im not willing to pay that much…..ill find out if i can get someone to fit it me cheap before i buy the parts

ill ask about on my local vw forum…… someone must be handy with electrics  

I just got this about 4 weeks ago :

Really easy to install,and the best bit is you get a mk4 key fob with a flip key - looks really smart!!!

looks like exactly the same kit as mine - just dont get the flip key, so just as easy - connect the solenoids up to the door pins inside the doors, and run the loom round the car, plugging the right wires together - really easy unless your colour blind as they are all colour coded!

Then just plug in the control box, and plug a live and an earth wire into it and your away!
