Hi everyone 
I'm sure this topic has been covered a thousand times but I still can't find the answer to the specific problem.
So just recently bought myself a nice 2006 A3 Sportback, 2.0TDi. Pulls like a train after my old 1.5 Megane
Anyways, bought it with knowing that central locking is not working and I have been using the key to lock/unlock the car for a couple of weeks.
What I have noticed though, each time I press the button on a key fob, there is a click sound coming from the central locking module (if that's what it is, located near rear left wheel well behind the panel), it sounds similar to the sound indicators make, there is a click once I press the button and another click 1-2 seconds later. When I took the panel off to expose the module, the click was rather loud, as though there is an actual little hammer of some sorts inside of the module.
Other than that, it does nothing, no lights flash, no doors unlock. Someone suggested switching off the engine, closing all the doors and waiting until the hazard lights button goes out, pressing the button and seeing if it lights up again- no luck. I have tried reprogramming the fob with the holding the unlock button for 2 seconds in ignition procedure- no change. I know the fob works because it makes the module click as the buttons are pressed but other than that- nothing. Where do I begin?
Thanks
Edit:
I should perhaps add that central locking stopped working when the driver's electric window cable snapped and it jammed. It has since been fixed.
