Lazy Central Locking

paul.ascroft@bmw.co.za · Mar 19, 2008

Hi All,
Just noticed that my offside rear door is getting lazy with the unlocking. I sometimes have to use the remote twice for it to fully unlock i.e 1 blip for the drivers door, 2nd blip to unlock remaining doors (offside rear door button goes half way up), 3rd blip to fully unlock the door.
Any ideas?

my td5 does the same on the passenger door....

Drivers one packed in not so long ago and to get it out required removing the window frame and dismantling most of the door... so i squirted WD40 in it and it came back to life

I should try a little WD40 on the passenger side but haven got round to it..!

Mine did this when the weather was cold, never a problem in summer!

As per battenburg a bit of lubrication always helps, but WD40 seems to only last a few months for me. I'm now trying a teflon spray GT.. something I got it from a cycle shop, we will see if lasts a bit longer.
As it's only a rear door it's not a great problem but I do like to see things working properly and yes it's a winter problem also for me Mantamad.
