If you don't want to go to the dealer in the first instance then I suggest you get someone to scan the car with VCDS to see if that pinpoints the fault.

Ultimately, I suspect you will have to let the dealer sort this out...

Try a different dealer. Some are much better than others. :smiley:

Unless the car is immobilised in some way I don't think they would attend.

My dads passat had the same problem as this a few months ago, after much messing about and 8 days at the dealers they ended up putting a new central computer, 4 new door sensors and two new door locks into the car. Hope you get it sorted
