Default Central Locking Stopped Working... Now What ???

<center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/G60syncro/For%20sale/100_3064.jpg"></center><p>Hi guys,

I've been having couple bugs with my '98 A4 (V6), thought I would ask your advice...

1. Central Locking ain't working, I can hear the vacuum pump in the trunk pumping but it's as if it lost power and can't push the locks open... it runs for like 2min now and no doors open, the mechanic told me the vacuum pump ain't pump as strong as it should.

2. My key only makes the lights flash like 50% of the time, I replaced the battery just 2 months ago... so I'm little worried about that also.

So I want to know if you guys know of any place where I can aquire a used vacuum pump..?? I already checked ebay (nothing) and dadsauto, if anyone can suggest any other place that would be awesome (off course if for some unexplainable reason you have one for sale I would be interested )

Thanks,
CK

Default YGM.

BTW, I'm considered the central locking guru on here, so make sure you check your mail. I have something you want.

The part you are wanting is the pump with two nipples and a three prong connector right?

Default A lot of people know what's up, and know that I'm very good with the CLS.

Apparently you don't.
