D3 door locks - deadbolt on second botton push

[PeterOZ]

As per the subject I am having an issue with the door locks on my 2007 D3. First push of the lock button all is ok but normally when you push the lock button the second time you get a nice "thud" type of noise as the deadbolt is forced in.

Now what is happening is a funny sort of a Bzzzzt noise and I'm not concinved the deadbolts are working. Noise is in the drivers door. Doors them selves though are locked but I suspenct not deadbolted.

Any thoughts?[bighmmm]

Sounds like the drivers door lock actuator which is the master for all is on the way out

what I was thinking but good to have somebody confirm. I had a look online at video of how to replace these units, what a mogrel job! I'll leave it alone for the moment though will need to get the part number and price for one.

Yep I had mine at the car yes when I purchase it it was a mongrel job basically the whole innards of the door. Worst part is if it isn't working correctly all the doors will unlock. I found had to lock using the dash button from inside through the passengers door then remote lock I think problem also was it opened on the last of the handle and then the horn alarm went off - lol upsets the neighbours
