Power locks pump |
|
|
Has anyone had problems with their Power Locks?
I have an A4 1.8 Quattro and my dealer tells me that I need to change the
pump as it is unserviceable.
New pump with labour is 1300 $ Canadian.
I think I am getting ripped off.
Any ideas?

Donny,
Wow, that's a chunk of cash. Check out VM Autohaus at www.vmautohaus.com to
find the price of the part. As far as the location of the pump in the A4 -
I'll have to defer to the A4 folks in the group - in my 5ktq it's right
beside the battery under the back seat and takes all of about 10 minutes to
change.
When you've replaced the pump, take the old one apart to see why it failed -
the pump in my 5k died years ago and when I took it apart I found a corroded
circuit connection - it's still working with the repair I did.
Cheers!

In my '87 VW GTi, that pump has been pumping for 17 years without a
problem. $1300 is ludicrous, even if it is CAD. I would go harvest one
at a junkyard. Take your out first and open the noise insulation so you
know what the pump looks like, then check VWs and Audis at the junkyard
for an identical pump. My guess is that it will set you back the
equivalent of USD 20, and replacing it is not very hard work. I have
seen older Mercedses at the junker that use the same pneumatic type door
locks as VW / Audi, wouldn't surprise me if they use the same pumps too. |

Rather than the pump being the problem you should check the vac lines and
electricals. Be sure power is getting to it when it should. If it runs then
check if vacuum is created. If yes then there is a problem in the vac lines or
actuators.

Good point, I once had a hose break where it goes from the body to the
hatch. When troubleshooting, keep in mind that the pump will generate
vacuum or (positive) pressure depending on whether it is locking or
unlocking the doors.
If you need replacement hose, you can get it from

As far as I knoe the pump is identical to the VW pump, it is much easier to
find at wreckers, new pumps are cheaper too.

a
well-dressed baby. By the time you turn the child?s breast into
cutlets, it will be indistinguishable. The taste of young human,
although similar to turkey (and chicken) often can be wildly
different depending upon what he or she has consumed during its
10 to 14 months of life...
4 well chosen cutlets (from the breasts of 2 healthy neonates)
2 large lemons (fresh lemons always, if possible)
Olive oil
Green onions
Salt
pepper
cornstarch
neonate stock (chicken, or turkey stock is fine)
garlic
parsley
fresh cracked black pepper
Season and sauté the cutlets in olive oil till golden brown, remove.
Add the garlic and onions and cook down a bit.
Add some lemon juice and some zest, then de-glaze with stock.
Add a little cornstarch (dissolved in cold water) to the sauce.
You are just about there, Pour the sauce over the cutlets,
top with parsley, lemon slices and cracked pepper.
Serve with spinach salad, macaroni and cheese (homemade) and iced tea...
Spaghetti with Real Italian Meatballs
If you don?t have an expendable bambino on hand,
you can use a pound of ground pork instead.
The secret to great meatballs, is to use very lean meat.
1 lb. ground flesh; human or pork
3 lb. ground beef
1 cup finely chopped onions
7 - 12 cloves garlic
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
˝ cup milk, 2 eggs
Oregano
basil
salt
pepper
Italian seasoning, etc.
Tomato gravy (see index)
Fresh or at least freshly cooked spaghetti or other pasta
Mix the ground meats together in a large bowl,
then mix each of the other ingredients.

Roast Child with Cornbread Stuffing
Turkey may be substituted for this classic holiday feast.
Although time consuming, this dish seems to take longer than it actually does;
as the entire house is filled with such a heavenly aroma,
the waiting becomes almost unbearable.
1 whole child, cleaned and de-headed
1 batch cornbread stuffing (see index)
˝ cup melted butter
Remove the giblets from the infant and set aside.
Stuff the cavity where the child?s genitals and anus were located
using ˝ cup per pound of meat.
Tie the arms flat to the body, then pull the skin flaps up to close the cavity.
Now tie the thighs up tight to hold it all together.
Place breast side up in a large metal roasting pan.
Bake in 325° oven covered for 2 hours.
Remove cover, stick a cooking thermometer deep into one of the
baby?s buttocks and cook uncovered till thermometer reads 190°,
about another hour.
Pro-Choice Po-Boy
Soft-shelled crabs serve just as well in this classic southern delicacy.
The sandwich originated in New Orleans, where an abundance of abortion clinics
thrive and hot French bread is always available.
2 cleaned fetuses, head on
2 eggs
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 cup seasoned flour
oil enough for deep frying
1 loaf French bread
Lettuce
tomatoes
mayonnaise, etc.
Marinate the fetuses in the egg-mustard mixture.
Dredge thoroughly in flour.
Fry at 375° until crispy golden brown.
Remove and place on paper towels.
Holiday Youngster
One can easily adapt this recipe to ham, though as presented,
it violates no religious taboos against swine.

In the trunk, right side, near the back lights. Atleast, in my avant
it is there.

The pumps are fairly robust (mine is 17 years and still going) so I
would suggest picking one up at the junk yard. They used the same pump
in several VW and Audi models for a number of years, so don't limit your
search to '98 A4. |
