When you lock that door with the key do all the other locks operate?

The yellow hose goes to the lock motor.

motors?
i believe there are no motors. most german made cars from this era use vacuum. the yellow tube is a vacuum line that comes from a unit called "central locking pump" that is located in the rear of the car. It is a vacuum pump that actuates levers in the 3 doors. line may be ruptured if you hear hissing. can you push the lock button down with your finger?.. if not.. the vehicle may "think" your door is open.

Re: Driver Door won't lock
I can only guess that the air pressure or vacuum that operates the 'motor' can overcome the losses due to a small rupture in the line when unlocking only.
It would be nice if scomer88 let us know his outcome, maybe we will never know though.

Re: Driver Door won't lock
I am not sure what you actually mean though, can you feel any pressure or suction in the yellow hose?
Re: Driver Door won't lock
It seems rather like Canada in many ways ( after my recent travels ) . Theres a actual problem with the drivers door lock mechanism leaking air. with the air tube removed the system works but the door will unlock but not lock. Is there any way to rebuild it, put new seals in it etc.

Re: Driver Door won't lock
I've seen various reasons why the drivers door lock isn't working. Quite a few of the problems was the air line being damaged/cracked to the point where the vacuum pump 'signal' doesn't have the oomph to operate the locking mechanism. Are you quite sure the lock/unlock assembly is the failure point?
