Yes, there is every year a official "Golf3.de-Forumstreffen" in Germany ;)

I have a trouble to solve. I hope in a your help.

I have this golf from 2009, and I ever have a non solved trouble with central lock door.

The left door, the trunk, and the fuel cap ever operated in the right mode. The pessenger or right door ever presented this problem. When i close the door, the lock doesn't open and reamin closed. It's impossible to open it with key or any other way. I change 2 compressor and 3 lock door: result is ever locked and any correct operation.
To open the door i had broken for three times the lock. To allow this problem i disconnect the air lock system, i removed also the compressor.
I think that was something wrong in the air hose or electrical.

I bought 2 week ago this a electrical kit of JOM with these actuators

and this is the rest of the kit

http://www.golf3.de/images/imported/2012/11/450.jpg

My question is: can i operate the actuators of this kit with the original lock (the lock are not connected with air and electrical)? I hope to not buy two original lock without central lock...

I hope to explain may trouble...anyway sorry for some mistake.
Thanks to everybody!

Very Interesting! I hope to say: Golf3.de treffen Ich War Dabei..;)

Very Nice Work Dude, i'll follow you progress, its really interessiting and its really cool that you take so many Pictures :)

No! what you will do ist not good. Please repair the original lock only with OEM parts.

Why? Because the jom kit is junk and not reliable? I'm tired to waste time, i try for two years to find a solution...

A little update.

Hey nice mkIII

i would change a few details but if you like it this way ;)
i think fully red tails on that white car would be gorgeous.

your headlights are great, where is this bixenon from? do you have a link for me? would be great :D

No, you cant mix the jom kit with the original locking system, because jom is an electrical system and original is a system controlled by air!

It wouldnt work if you mix it...

Chang completly on electrical locking system.
Then there is no reason for searching a solution anyway. =)
Really nice car! Wonderful colour and great ideas you´ve realised!

i would make it more to the left and make a smaller distance between the 8 and the V

but the idea is very cool ;)

Well, take a look at this sub-forum -> http://www.golf3.de/

;)

The bixenon is an aftermarket kit purchased in a Hifi Center of my city. When i came back at home, i make a shot of the box. I don't remind which firma is.
I remember the kit are:
2 bulbs
2 lamps 6000k (i'm waiting for 4300)
2 ballast
1 cable with relais for swhitch HI/LO beam
2 control unit for position light.

Full red taillight is an option, but now i would finisch the car, i leave the details at last.
Thank you for your opinion :danke:

So Martin & Chris this is the current status

http://www.golf3.de/images/imported/2012/11/459.jpg

You can see the disconnected air red hose, and no electrical connection to original lock. My question is: now the lock is pure mechanic operating. Can I use my lock in this condition (fully disconnected) or i must purchase and use a no oem ZV lock to use my electrical ZV kit?
Reset the original air ZV is not contempllated now...:o

I think the same, just finished the car, i finish the details. :danke:

Thank you very much! :cool2:

I understand your problem and I guess that the orig. air controlled lock doesnt work with an electrical adjusting motor...but you can try it with a simple adjusting motor...its very cheap...I think round about 5€...

Thank you for the tricks. Have you a link of this?
Danke Martin

Hallo Mk3 friends.

I have to solve definetively this trouble. Having said that i'll not came back to oem ZV (I remove all original kit), the problem this.

This afternoon i tested the jom ZV, i connected the unit at battery: the kit works good and it seems reliable.

I work on position of jom motor to match on original "turpinnen" tie. I check the right work clearence for all tie and widows. Feels good, and the position is this

http://www.golf3.de/images/imported/2012/11/519.jpg

http://www.golf3.de/images/imported/2012/11/520.jpg

It seemed all ok, i decided to check and test the working. And now there's is problem:
With the connection to original turpinne tie the motor close and immediaty open. It' doesn't remain on lock position.
Without connection to tie, the jom motor close when i push closing button and open when push opening button.
What's wrong with tie?
The just think is: is possible that turpinne tie range is shorter than jom motor range? And for this reason is possible that jom motor don't stay on locking position?

Thank a lot at everybody

Hi, first i would like to say that you have a really nice car and i respect that you put so much work in the car, and also the money which is in there, for example the paint work.

there aren't many people which spend so much time and money in such old cars.

what i also have to say is that i like your showroom so much with all the pictures of your rebuild and the car.

there aren't many showrooms with so many pictures. keep on going with uploading puctures.

to the problem with the power lock:

i am at the exact same opinion as you, i think that the "range" of the door pins is too short what means that the electrical motors of the jom kit closes and then immediately opens again.

but it is always hard to give help over the internet.

further best luck with the car and greetings to italy.

good work, looks great :)

Hallo freunde.

The next week i'll start the lether work.
I have the original lether door trim.
My project for my recaros is like this.

http://www.golf3.de/images/imported/2012/11/656.jpg

I'm undecided just for one think: black or red seam?

I think black is more graceful than red...

I would love to see red seam :) sure black is more graceful...but red would bring this little great accent :)

very very nice :)

take black like on the picture ;) looks great

I must agree with martin. take red! And i would, however, may still see where else to put red highlights.

I Think the best choice is the black seam. Red would be perfect if it was fitted the Jubi steering wheel, the jubi gearknob and the jubi seat belts.

Thanks for your opinion! :danke:

Jubi steering wheel, the jubi gearknob and the jubi seat belts would look great in your car :)

Great work so far, Dude...Thumbs up!

your're right my friend ;) :cool2:

i'm looking forward to see the final recaros soon :fluestern:

Thats extremly SEXY

wow i like your exterieur:)

Please make them black like the ones in the picture. They´ll be great :D

Hey me again ^^ did you found the manufacturer of that xenon parts? :danke:

Tomorrow the seat will start to the leather work. The seam will be black.

Sorry mate for delay. Here under the pics of my box kit

and finally placed the front cross over (i think is better place here than inside the dashboard. more easy to check), and also placed a positive multiplier for front and rear amplifier

Very Nice Work :)

Hallo Freunde, I have a trouble.

I'm started to change the heater core. I Demount the full "armaturenbretten", i arrived to demount the rod palced from door to other door. I demount the 4 Bolt outside, i deomunt the central bracket.
Now i have this problem. The sterring column is fixed on this rod with 4 bolts: 2 bolts are behind and are easily to unscrew, 2 othee bolt are under, but this bolts not have the head to uncrew. How can unscrew these bolts? I should weld a tool to unscrew?
Thank a lot and regards

After tighten these screws will lose their head, to make it harder for thieves to build in a new mainlock.

You have to drill them out.

I guess an 8mm hole in the middle of the screw without head would be enough.

the bolts without head are in the red circle.

Thank for answer. I have tought to drill them, in the afternnon I'll try. Thanks for trick!:danke:

Final front stance with white logo. I'll paint in with the orange of the MB felgen to match all the car stance
