Electric central locking as standard?

Post by marcus »

The Mk2 door I'm stripping from an '89 Scala has electric central locking, but the mechanism looks good quality and the body is marked 'mes swiss made', is this a (later) standard fit or a high-quality aftermarket part? Install looks tidy but has crimps I wouldn't expect from the factory.

Haynes says standard central locking is hydraulic.

Central locking was not standard on a Scala in 1989 nor was a sunroof, split folding rear seat or electric windows, but they did get a leather steering wheel!!!
