[urq] central door locking motor on for a long time

[Thatcher Hubbard]

This can be a sign that you've got a leak somewhere.  A friend of mine
has a Passat that did the same thing, the locks worked normally but
the cycle was long.  Turned out that the lock actuator on the trunk
lid had a leak and would take a long time to kick over.  I know the
Urq only has the two door locks, but it might be worth putting a
Mity-Vac on the end of the line and seeing if it would hold pressure.
