Anyone know how I can tell if my car has the heated door locks fitted ?
Its a 328i not a sport though, and as far as I can tell it does have heated washer jets, as there are power wires running into the bonnet, and I cannot think what else they could be for.
I cant suss if it has the heated door locks though, so any advice welcome.
I would say your car should, but without either contacting the main dealer for a print out of your options OR stripping the door panel off itself and taking a look it is not possible for me to give you a definite. :frown
You may be able to see down the window/door frame with a small torch/streamlight when the window is fully down and see the wires.
Yes, theres one easy way to know if you have the 'Winter' pack.
Lock the doors, and the lift the driver side door handle a little bit, if the interior light comes on, then you have the Winter pack (The heated washer jets and heated door locks)... If you lift the handles and the light doesn't come on, then it means you don't have heated door locks !
The fact that you have heated washer jets, usually suggests you have heated door locks too.
I'm not sure about 'Sports' becuase of the early ones having LSD's and he later ones not BUT
My 325i has heated washer jets, the interior light comes on when you lift the handle (car locked) and an LSD so I would assume it has heated door locks and that it's got this 'Winter Pack' on it.
Thanks for the replies, I will try the handle lift and see if the interoir light comes on tonight when its dark.
I couldnt try it last night as the interior light has been broken since I got the car LOL - fitted a new bulb today and its now working, so later on will try the handle
Thanks ppl !
Do what I do, and WD40 all locks just before winter... I've done it on all my cars, with and without remote central locking, and i've never had a frozen lock !
from my experience in this years snow, the heated door locks are useless. I got in the car fine, but then got stuck in the snow on a speedhump 300 yards from the house
hahaha :lol - You need some new door heaters, mine didn't get stuck, because they are working :thumbsup
