Title: Some problems with MK4 GTI 180 '03' Please help somebody
Post by: Jayy on 01 September 2012, 22:17
 :cry:

Just brought a MK4 golf gti 1.8t 180 on a 2003/03

Wondering if someone could please advise me on the following problems:-

I have VCDS genuine copy, so if anything needs to be checked please advise how, and I will..

1) Only the drivers door and boot will open, all other doors remain as if they are deadlocked, will not open inside or out. - VCDS said central locking module (if its this, where is it?)

2) Idle control valve - Revs drop low, does not cut out, but drops quite low, can this part be cleaned? where is it located on a 1.8T?

3) possible electrical fault, when driving traction light will come on, and sometimes with the ABS light, however when scanned, there is no issue.

Other than that, drives spot on, and well impressed with only 62k on there.

Brake lights seem to be working fine..

Someone else said something about a convenience module behind the steering wheel? Would you advise going with the one in the door? and will changing that one really fix the other doors? Seems a little too good too be true?

before spending any money on new parts just try this, disconnect the battery, sit down, have fag or coffee, reconnect battery and try the locking, you will prob find the locking is working as it should :smiley:

Now the back ones packed up again..

Would this be caused by the door module, or the one behind the steering wheel?

could be either mate. Might be worth disconnecting the CCM and seeing if it will let you open the doors manually?

Thats an idea, will try that tomorrow, i can never get the airbag off, so ill have to get someone to do that, did a proper search to find:-

01330 - Central control module for central convenience (J393)
Supply voltage to low - Intermittent

01135 - Interior motioring sensors
Open curcuit

00928 - Locking module for central locking - front drivers side (F220)
Implausible signal - intermittent

00929 - Locking module for central locking - front passenger side (F221)
Implausible signal - intermittent

00930 - Locking module for central locking - rear left side (F222)
Implausible signal - intermittent

00931 - Locking module for central locking - rear right side (F223)
Implausible signal - intermittent

Yours will be the 1C0 CCM, they are around £50 second hand on ebay. I dread to think how much a new one is

It's not that big, probably A5 size. You need to replace yours with the exact same number. You can find out the part number via VAG COM

Post by: Jayy on 02 September 2012, 20:17
In section 46 on vag com? So it does go behind the wheel?

Nice one
Title: Re: Some problems with MK4 GTI 180 '03' Please help somebody
Post by: Wazzzer on 02 September 2012, 20:29
not behind the steering wheel, just to the right of it behind the dash panel

Yeah 46 IIRC

right, unplugged the module, everything opens expect the front passenger door, this is still deadlocked.

Disconnected battery, still don't open..

Soon as the modules plugged in, the rear drivers packs up straight away..

Update **** booted the door a good few times from the inside, and the passenger door has started to work, well all of them to be honest, 1 in 5 times the passenger door won't open..

Now would you advise this is a CCM issue, or door module? weird or what :S

I would say the classic dry solder joints in the module  :undecided:

Sounds like it's possibly CCM for the others and dry joints for the passenger door

what a nightmare, I got a bad feeling about sorting this passenger door, if only wd40 was the answer
