Punto (Mk2/2b) Remote Central Locking + Alarm on a Non-C/L MK2

There are three rods attached to the lock that must be removed to clear way to get the old lock out and the new lock in. These are; the door pin, the outer handle and the inner handle. The rods are held to the lock with little plastic clips. Firstly we need to remove the outer handle and the metal protection behind it - just 2 hex bolts.


The outer handle will now be hanging but don't try to remove it yet - its still attached to the lock. The actual key lock is next to remove by using a pair of pliers to slide out the metal clip holding it in place - then the key lock will drop out.


Now to disconnect that linkage from the outside handle to the lock. The rod is held to the lock with a little plastic clip that needs to be rotated away from the rod to unclip it, then the rod will be free.


You can then get the outer handle out of the way by wiggling it out of the door.


Now the door pin. The clip for this is most easily accessed using a flat-headed screwdriver through a cut out on the inside of the door near the lock.


Once its unclipped, pull the door pin out through the top.


Finally the inner door handle rod. You will need to unclip this at both the handle and lock end. Start with the handle and unclip it to free the rod. You may find it easier to remove the handle with the two screws to pull the rod out of the way.


Follow the rod down to the lock and unclip it. This one can be a bit fiddley. Then slide the rod out of the way of the lock.


The lock is now disconnected from everything and can just be removed by unscrewing the 3 Torx bolts.



The new C/L lock is bolted in its place, and all rods and handles are reattached in reverse order of removal.
