2003 Tdi Central Locking And Relay Clicking Problem

[tahirti3]

i have a 2001 tdi but was looking at a 2003 ghia model.the car is mostly tidy but the remote locking is weird.if you press lock, it locks all but drivers door.if you press unlock it locks drivers door.

also it has an intermittant clicking noise from behind the left side panel in the boot area.same side as fuel filler.it clicks loudly for about 30ish seconds and then stops.no warning lights on dash and everything seems to be working.

any ideas guys?

thanks

Sounds like broken and/or shorted wires in the rubber gaitors to the doors/tailgate - common problem and covered in the technical FAQ sections (3 topics)
