#1: Unlocks itself Author: Griggsy, Location: KentPosted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 3:46 pm ---- Recently i had a problem with locking the car. To start with the locks would bounce twice and on the third attempt lock however when i returned to the car a while later it was unlocked. My car will lock now but randomly unlocks itslef! This is a big problem as i know its locked when i leave it however when i return its unlocked itself!!!!!!!
please somebody any ideas?

Try to spray some wd-40 into the lock MECHANISM first, it might solve your probelm if your lucky. If still not working you will need to replace the door lock MECHANISM.
It shlould be half an hour job taking the door panel then replace the lock MECHANISM. Had the same problem with my 206, problem solved since i replace the lock.

Definitely the solenoid. probably about £10 for a solenoid from a scrappy and you can fit it yourself

Cheers!

After accidently slamming the door the other day it has stopped bouncing when i try to lock even though it was stilling randomly unlocking.
It has been a couple of days now and it doesn't bounce and I haven't found its unlocked itself so It seems like it might have sorted itself! I just hope that if it does unlock itself I will find it and not someone else...
thanks anyway
