Nope.. wasn't me, I swear <grin>

Since this seems to be a hot thread, I'll chime in...

I've installed power lock actuators in two Sciroccos (mine and a friends). 
The "hardest" part is hooking it into the alarm, but that's not even too
bad, imho.  I spent a little time tonight getting a some info online on how
I installed the actuators.  All I really did was look at the picture in the
Bentley of how the factory actuators are installed, and do the same thing
using aftermarket two-wire type actuators.

The dealer part Jason mentioned is the plastic connector in the picture.  I
got it when I broke the original one (fragile after 12 years).  VW supplies
one piece now, when originally there were two pieces: one for cars with
power locks and one without.  It makes installing the actuators much easier
having this factory piece ($2 or so each)

here's the page:  http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/3414/vwlocks.htm

It's not linked anywhere at the moment, so don't lose the addy.
