[QUOTE="skinhead, post: 362687, member: 75"] changed driver side central locking actuator. rm177. diy. the old actuator doesnt lock with fob, only with keys. removal is tricky as u need to wiggle the actuator out. first u have to lift it up as much as possible as theres three skinny metal post that secures the actuator in place. push theactuator up then pull it out. will post pic later to show u wer the metal post reside inside the actuator body. reinstallation of the new actuator in was HARD. trust me. after much wiggling, swearing etc.. was managed to get it in. took me 2 hrs from start to finish jus to get the new actuator in place. but seeing my central lock driver side responding to the fob command..priceless.... resetting the faultcode and program the door to lock once the car drives... wunderbar...:top: edit: add pics for actuator as u can see fm 2nd pic, the 2 red circle is wer the metal post will fit in, the arrow is for the lock mechanisme post. this plastic slider will move/slide to lock-unlock ur door. the 3rd pic is the internals of the actuator. the black color thingy is the microswitch housing.
