[s-cars] Vacuum Locks

[Ed Kellock]

The trunk lock has a fairly common issue with a ball bearing that gets
gummy or seized and affects the automatic locking feature.  There's a
write-up somewhere.  I've performed the procedure, just don't remember
it in great detail.  Basically, the ball bearing seems unnecessary and
can just be removed.  Or something like that.

I think if you look for a website with a name something like
quattro123.com, that might be where the write-up is.

I did not hear noise from trunk when locking or unlocking car with key at driver's door the first time when trunk did not unlock, then later the trunk unlocked. Fortunately anyway can unlock trunk with key by turning clockwise to end.
