Hi guyz,

Ive just bought a central locking kit for my polo!

Lol i didnt know to fit it, the cost will be £40 per door! My car is a 1999 model and £160 is abit too much lol

Well anyways i thought as i got it now y not try it by myself!

Where do i start from haha

OK i know now to take all the door panels apart now

but i need someones help to please guide me how to fit the actual thing!

What i will do is at each step put photos up so someone can tell me if im doing it correctly! Hey hey i might save money lol or i might just end up not having the locking system lol but ill definately giv it a try and learn!

So please can u brilliant ppl keep me posted wid my errors

STEP ONE lol my central locking kit looks like this

That seems to be a pretty complete set... where did you bought it from??

Hi again,

Thanks for the above posts! Itz really helpful!

I got my Kit from ebay for £29, not bad but until it works lol

I decided to do the Rear doors first and below is a photo of how i attached the rod to the clamp and door lock.



I hope ive done it right, please feel free to comment on any errors seen.

I will connect the motor next and post the photo. Unfortunately i need to drill but cant seem to get a good position.
