R129 late model PSE pump

Another thought just struck me too...
Not sure if your car is the same but a second press on the remote opens the passenger door on mine.
If the logic of that is somehow skewed in your car maybe there's a toggle that only lets one door open after the other? Are the door feeds crossed perhaps?

Mines much earlier than yours and isn't that clever
Its only a single button IR remote. Very basic system.

Hi s5tuart

Did you manage to get to the bottom of your pump problem as it seems similar to mine..

I’ve pressure tested all the lines with vacuum and positive pressure to half s bar and they are fine and hold with the needle not moving on the gauge.

My pump over runs when unlocking the doors, the front glove box opens 5 seconds after followed by the centre glove box a few seconds later. This is finally followed by the boot lock.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It sounds like the pump or associated parts are on their way out! The pump over running is a sign of a leak somewhere or the pump can’t generate enough blow or suck to do things as quickly as it should.
There is a manifold on the pump that often gives up its seal.

This any help?

Thanks Guys.

I’ve a feeling s5tuart’s probably right worse luck.. I guess if the pump is struggling that could account for the delay and why the pump runs so long. The pressure tester tells me the pipes and actuators are good.

I think I’d better start looking for a replacement.
