#1: Various central locking issues Author: mattmanic, Posted: Wed Sep 18, 2013 2:38 am ---- Hello, I've had my 1999 206 1.4 8v for a little over a year and although it had 140000miles on the clock it was perfect when I bought it. Slowly, things have started to go wrong, the central locking being the most annoying.
To start with, the locks were bouncing, which I traced to a faulty passenger solenoid. I bridged on of the pins in the lock to make it think it was constantly locked. This stopped the bouncing. Shortly after my rear passenger noise started making a very loud grating noise, being very stiff and only working intermittently. I put up with this but now, the car has started locking on its own and the drivers door has developed a similar problem to the rear passenger door in that it's noisy and the lock is intermittently difficult to lock. Because of this, the locks will repeatedly bounce up and down, making a hell of a racket until I manually lock the drivers door.
I think the only lock that works is the rear drivers side...
Is there a way of doing a whole locking transplant? Could I go to a scrap yard, collect some locks and just replace them all without any effect on the system?
Sorry for rambling, and thank you for reading

Definately.
Or eBay but make sure you get the right locks (connector, side etc).
