So came out this morning at half 6 to defrost my windows only to find all 4 of my windows down as far as they could go, my first thoughts was they they'd been smashed and I prepared for the worse as I approached. Rns510 still there as was my iPod in my armrest, phew. Anybody had any similar problems or any idea what could of happened? Maybe something to do with the cold weather?
-
Jezzz that doesn't sound good.
-
I seem to remember reading a post about that happening to someone on www.golfmk6 forum.
Dunno the upshot though, sorry.
How does the auto openiong thingy work, you know when you press one of the buttons on th fob from outside and it opens all the windows? Not played with it on mine yet.
Could it be you stuck your key in your pocket and somehow the button got pressed?
-
Some consolation, by my Brera has done this twice. Glich within the MF control unit that was subsequently replaced.

@ danski that's what I'm hoping, it's if you hold the unlock button then all windows open until you let go. I'm just relieved that nothing went missing TBH, I'm going to ring the dealer today and see if they can shed any light on it
-
If the unlock button on the key fob is held down for a period of a few seconds (about 5 I think) all windows will automatically open. I have had a play about with this myself.
Sounds like you possibly may have inadvertently hit the button for a sustained period.
-
chances are you have just sat on or accidentally kept the unlock button pressed without realising.
-
Sounds possible but to be on the safe side check it out..
-
Got it booked in Monday morning, just hope it doesn't happen again over the weekend

I had an Alfa whose electrics went mad just once.
The sunroof kept opening and closing without any help, the electric seats kept moving on their own, the central locking went crazy, the alarm kept going on and off even when I was driving, the indicators and lights had a mind of their own , the boot kept opening unnecessarily .... what a 'mare!
And then, all this stopped and it was the most reliable car I have ever owned! Wierd.

had a similar problem with Freelander 2 - when using remote to lock or unlock the doors, the windows would also go down - bizarre and a bit spooky - can't remember what the problem was but it was easily fixed on the warranty....quite a few niggles out there with new arrivals... :angry:

OMG, that is all we need.
We wait forever to get the car.
Then it does things we don't want it to do.
Drives us crazy.
Divorce ensues due to stress.
Car still with us but without the significant other!
Life is so much better with a Golf!

Excellent support from you. Most grateful.
Now I know what to do.
Was out of my mind when it happened!
I wish I had known you then. Would have been a big boon!
:laugh: :cry: :laugh: :cry: :laugh:
Still don't feel quite normal after that experience!
-
I will light some candles for all of us for good luck!
-
Ide hope that doesn't happen to me round here. Im sure my car would be completely stripped down to the metal by 7am
-
I think i was rather lucky TBH, be it a weekend and i doubt i would of been so lucky. I'm just worried that it may happen again before monday, hopefully not though. Seems abit strange how thats happened though, i was well shocked this morning. I saw my arse :laugh:
-
Is there not a way of turning off this somehow? If hitting the button is the reason its happened.
-
I'm not too sure Snoopy, i'll ask the question on monday mate. I just hope it was a one off :undecided:
-
Just to let you know that i had my car in this morning, just picked it up now. Well lo and behold they couldn't find a fault, they said it was most likely down to me holdong the button which i think it could of been and it hasn't happened since. Any way ive turned off the option for the windows to come down if you hold the unlock button via the MFD, so if it does happen again then i'll know it's not that. On a lighter note, they fixed a rattle that was coming from the passenger side somewhere, it's been irritating me for 6 month :laugh:
All nice and quiet now :grin:

Aidy...
Tell them to check the CCM Module. (Central convenience module).
Then swiftly suggest that they update the firmware and software on the module. Our MK5 GTI did this exact thing. Its a quick fix. A matter of two hour download of the software from germany.
The reason it does this is because the CCM computer is American and the actual electrical systems are German... The two sometimes conflict and you end up with this as a result.
Being a MK5.5 (har har) I imagine they would have simply carried over the same CCM module to the MK6. The module itself control lights, central locking, heated seats... the works. Its like the ECU for comfort.
That should do the trick. If it doesnt... Simply reset the onboard computer or disable auto windows up or down.

Top marks for the technical explanation. So is the windows opening like the US droping an atom bomb on the german components? :rolleyes:

Ooh, can you get a remap for extra comfort? :grin:

Hahaha
The funniest thing is that as I explained it above... Well thats how our dealer explained it to us. :lipsrsealed:

Same bloody thing happened to me this morning. Got to car, only to find both front windows half way down. Shocked to say the least! Interesting point re holding fob too long, had no idea this can open the blinking windows. May be a daft question but how do you turn auto windows thing off?
Cheers

Sometimes it's handy to have - like if you've left your sunroof open and it rains, simply press and hold the lock button and it'll close it and the windows
But I don't have a sunroof :laugh:

Great in the summer too for letting a bit of air in your scorching hot car before you get in.
