maybe a dodgy earth somewhere seems like the window switch is draining a lot of power
Battery Good?
Alternator pushing out over 12v on idle?

Also sometimes when i put my window up i have to hold the button to get it too close properly else it come down on its own accord.im thinking it could be a problem with the window mech or a bad earth somewhere.cheers for ur advise.if it is normal i cnt understand it.im sure my previous golf dint do it.

Are you sure that's not the pinching thingy my window always does it as pinch sensor is faulty or something have to tap my button to get the window up all the way otherwise comes down again.
