Both my experience and the owner's manual state that both front door
locks should trigger the power locking system, no matter what engine
and/or trim level the car is. I can hear the pump running when I
unlock or pull the lock knob up, but nothing when I lock or push it
down..

My car is the standard european model, which means no good stuff like
power windows, climate control or power seats..

I would like to have at least the power windows on my car.. I bet I
could get the parts for a few $$ in the US, here it will cost me at
least $500 in used parts..
