Close your Windows Using the key
If you have left your windows open you can close them using the key just lock the car using the key and hold it for a few secs - windows will close.
You can also open the windows using the key just hold it for few secs.
(You can buy a device - KVW100 to allow full closure from the remote fob.)
One touch window
The mk4 has one touch window roll up, If you disconnect the battery you need to teach the window where the upper and lower limits are to make it work again.
So:
Open the window by HOLDING the button until the window reaches opens fully.
Then Close the window by HOLDING the button until window closes fully.
Window should now have learnt it's limits, and hence 'one touch' should now work again.
Steering wheel height and reach adjustment
Not everyone knows this believe or not!
Just release it under the steering wheel to adjust it.
Turn off the ultrasonisc sensors
There is a little button on the b pillar (Drivers side) for switching off the interior sensors, if you want to leave pets in the car ect without the alarm going off.
Rear view mirror sun flap
The rear view flap is to remove glare on the rear view mirror when the reading lights are on at night.
Also quite handy when the sun is low and your getting blinded from all angles.
Petrol cap holder
The petrol cap has little grooves every 1/4 of the way round so that it sits nicely in place on top of the filler door rather than dangling on the quarter panel and leaving drips.
Rear cup holder
There is a rear cup holder located under the rear ashtray.
Heated mirrors
These will come on when the heated rear window is pressed - The mirror must be in "o" position not L or R.
Climatronic - change from Fahrenheit to Celsius
To change the climatronic display from degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius press and hold the Econ button and press the auto button.

when its cold turn on the rear screen and you should see steam rising from the mirrors
-
Rear view mirror sun flap
The rear view flap is the little mini sun visor, quite handy when the sun is low and your getting blinded from all angles.
Whilst the flap doubles as a mini sun visor, I think the actually purpose is to remove glare on the rear view mirror when the reading lights are on at night.

Rear cup holder

There is in my 2000 GTI but in my mates 2001 TDI 130 I don't think there is. He has an arm rest whereas I don't but this should make a difference should it?

the GT TDI 130s came with the arm rest as standard, but the GT TDI 150 had it as an option, i'm pretty sure thats the same for the 1.8T too
-

no hold the key in the locked position - takes a few seconds before the windows start going up and you have to hold the key there until the windows are fully closed

the Golf's CCM isn't programmed to do that - it can be re-programmed but you need the correct lead and software - VAGCOM and VAG TACHO WILL NOT do it

Try the other door lock, Ben. My O/S lock is foobarred. Window will only open on that side (key in door method), but works both ways on the N/S. ;)

so it won't close the windows with the key in the door?
could be a faulty door module? do you have touble locking the doors at all?
-
I don't need to put the key in the door
Got a remote, but I when I keep pressing "close" it still does nothing
-

read the bottom line of what you quoted
you need to BUY that KWP100 module and plug it in
or have you bought one and it still don't work? :undecided:
-
ah I see, sorry did not read it good enough
I don't think i'm gonna pay that money for closing my windows
I'll beter spare some money for my dumpvalve, as soon as I got the cold air intake installed.
wich is not working like I planned since I have no stepbook or how to :shocked:

This only works on the passenger window any ideas??? cheers
-
Make sure you're using the switch properly you have to pull it all the way back there's two stages if you like. ALthough I've noticed when I disconnect the battery I lose my one touch windows for a few minutes and then they return magically.
-
my onetouch windows only work on the drivers window and the front passenger window. but it doesnt work on the passenger window if the passenger opens it....make sense?

I don't think it's meant to. I'll check on mine when i go to uni.
-
thats what happens to mine!! the passengers window ( when controlled by the passenger) isnt one touch, only from the drivers side control! i didn know whether it was just my car or not! seems like its meant to be that way
-

My heated mirrors have never worked :(
Also remote windows can be coded in by someoene who knows what they doing for a lot cheaper than the crap on that site.
-

Cheers,
