hey guys,

going to get my alarm installed soon but the shop told me i need to get another part for the door to autolock when i engage the alarm (door actuator ??)

My car doesn't have an alarm atm (opened with the key). When i lock the door from the driver side, it locks the passenger side aswell..

When i bought my car the guy said it has 'central locking' so do i need this part or are they playing tricks on me? :huh:

Try locking/unlocking from the passengers door. If it doesnt lock/unlock the drivers door then you will need an actuator for it

Try retrofitting a secondhand passenger door actuator to the drivers side or get a DSE kit

Maybe.. Sit in the car and lock/unlock both doors from the lock button on each door. If the opposite side locks/unlocks, then you don't need any. If the passenger side works when you operate the driver side then you can use one actuator in the drivers door. When it opens/closes it will cause the passenger side to unlock/lock.

Actuators are (or should be) fairly cheap. I would just let the installer use two if they really want to.

A little confusing, but you will understand if you just try it.

hey guys, thanks for the replies. turned out i did need a door actuator .. had a spare one lying around in the garage so i didn't have to fork out $$ for it :sick:

got a mongoose m80g installed i was wondering if this is meant to happen:

If the system is disarmed and if no doors are opened, the alarm re-arms but the doors arent re-locked?? can i turn it on so the doors are locked? my installer said something about my inside light coming on so it wont auto relock itself?

also noticed the range on the remotes is pretty small... (haven't tried direct line of sight) but with my old cars alarm (crappy one) i used to be able to arm it from within my house/room.. now i cant with this mongoose one which is a shame because i thought this was a top of the range alarm.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
