"How to" Central locking pump removal and motor change.
Hi.
My FL S8 started blowing the fuses for power windows and central locking just by pressing they keyfob some time back. so here is how I fixed it.
The 00 S8 has a unit 8L0 862 257 G which seems hard to get and overpriced so i managed to get a hold of a similar unit with L. According to Etka G replaces L so this should be straight forward but thats not the fact i'm afraid. it would not work on remote opening/closing
Location of the pump is behind the CD Changer on the left side (Uk pass side). Remove the CD Changer and Nav unit along with the metal pieces its mounted to. Disconnect any wires. there are 2 plastic plugs facing down from the top of the booth. gently pull the middle piece out and remove the remaining.When done the interior can be pulled out plenty enough to get to the pump out which you will find stuffed in a foamy "House". Remove and disconnect the 3 connectors and the 2 vacuum lines
