Hi,

So I've cleared the codes and driven about 100 miles. Seems like the engine codes were old ones. Now there's only one little problem: the right front door lock is not working well (01367 - Central Locking Pump Run Time Exceeded).

When I got the car last month, I noticed that the passenger window / door lock function more slowly than other windows / locks. Now that it's a bit colder, I noticed yesterday that the door wasn't locked. There's this code 01367.

I know it's not the pump, because all other doors and the trunk locks / unlocks just fine. Seeing that the window also doesn't work well, what could be the problem? Something fell inside? The panels squeezing against each other? Lube?

Does anyone have a guide / manual on how to open up the door?

Also, for door hinges, is it fine to use some anti-seize? I'm not sure about the metal content. Engine oil?

Thanks.

Isolated the problem:

Must be some leak inside the rubber thing connecting the door to the body. I massaged that part a little and the problem went away (still locks more slowly). I think I'll open that part and tape the vacuum line.

Opened the rubber connector, found no leak but still taped the vacuum line - and central locking stopped working completely.

I then removed the tape, and things returned to where they were. Tried again, and central locking stopped again. I opened the rubber connector for the fourth time, pushed and pulled the line a few times, and it returned to the old condition: unlocking works fine, but locking doesn't work for the front passenger door (can see the **** trying to go down but stops half way).

Could it be that the leak is at the other end (pump)? I'll check when I have some time. At the moment I'm locking that door manually (better than having to lock all doors manually).
