Hi all
Weird one for you got a call from work saying my hazzard 4 ways keep flashing on their own frequently.
The car is locked etc I have ne ideas why anyone had or come across this before.
Car is a 2016 Gti never had this problem before just want to get to the reason why.
Thanks in advance

Maybe it’s been hit in the car park,

Well I'm still no wiser my son has been down and gone all round the car and it's how I left it without a mark on it so it's still head scratching time.
In the dealers next weekend for service so il mention it see what answer they may come up with

Have you tried running a vcds scan for errors?

As of yet no as I'm not in the vicinity the car.
Silly question but can the scan be done via the IC or dorder as an external source need to be connected
-
Does it happen all the time? The suction on my phone holder in my car gave way once so it dropped to the floor and made a noise and set the alarm and lights off. Could it be something moving around or making noise in the car that’s setting it off? Mind you I’m sure they would have told you if the alarm was going off.
-
Yes, alarm is most likely... something moving the air inside the car maybe? It has volumetric sensors...
If you think its a false alarm and keeps happening, disable the internal monitoring (switch on the inside of the door B pillar on the Mk7 and a menu option on the Mk7.5)

Thanks for the info nothing inside to trigger it I haven't seen them go off work colleagues told me they noticed them flashing.
My son was checking it yesterday and they didn't flash while he was there.
But as I said it'd a relief that's there's been no impact
-
Could be something simple as the switch /relay itself...

Just an update.
No issues on service and the tech agreed probably the micro switch with the boot not being fully shut and hazards would go off as a warning somethings not right and had no faults showing on system so all good.. :smiley:
