Hey everyone,

Got a quick question....and yes i searched for ages....when i operate the driver's window, up or down; the passenger door always locks itself. Im thinking this may be normal, and its always done it, but its a freaking pain in the ass!

Is there any way of making it not do this? Like cutting a certain wire or something like that...

In R32 btw....

And no i dont want to disable the central locking all together either.

Any help would be great,

Cheers.

As far as I know, this shouldn't happen man. You might have a short in the wiring or in the control panel. Check that out first, and failing that, maybe contact an alarm installer if you have an alarm, and get them to sus it out?

Nar havent got an alarm but will soon. Thanks.

Anyone know anything else more specific?

Could it be my door lock timer?

The car has done it ever since its been going...wiggling around wires and connections has no effect either.

my car does that sometimes to. only started after the mongoose alarm was installed...

Tried to figure out when it happened if i:

put the window up

put the window down

auto up

auto down

was all intermittent... still dont know why it does it.

What do you mean by drivers door unit? Is this the small black box located inside the door near where the armrest is?

no. that is the auto up for the windows. the one I'm talking about is the window switch itself. the lock unit is in it.

no. that is the auto up for the windows. the one I'm talking about is the window switch itself. the lock unit is in it.

So maybe try another window switch assembly? Might swap it with a mates and see what happens. Thanks mate.

Mine does that too.

When u auto drivers door down it lock the passenger door when all the way down. Its fkn annoying.

HAHA i wish! even if i move the window up or down just a little bit eg not auto, it still does it!

mine does it too. Only started doing it recently though... I think its an earthing issue. Then again, my power window switch is on the fritz too, almost like the contacts have worn off... so I can't say for sure.

Unfortunately my alarm runs an actuator on the driver door too, so it locks both doors. Seems to be a problem only on R32's.

i have this feature lol

but its not really that bad, there is a passenger door unlock button next to your window controls - atelast on 33's

mine would randomly do it once up to speed, and EVERYTIME i put the rear demister on :thumbsup:

Do a search for a thread by cubes, pretty sure he wrote up a DIY mod to stop it.

    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything. 
    • That is gates blue racing belt
    • Anyone found gates blue racing to be extremely tight/ almost impossible to install without moving the exhaust gear
