I'd have a squint in the mk4 section, I know they have issues with central locking, so its worth a look in there...
-
Did you leave the air conditioning on? :laugh:
-
get a mark2 you will be lucky if the door opens and the windows go down at all LOL :grin:
-
Billy VW has got the same problem with his Mk4
He couldnt find anything in the Mk 4 section. knightrider told him it was in the ECU.

this should happen, but only if you hold the key in the unlock position for a few seconds longer, instead of just turning to open or using your remote fob

^^^^ True, should only happen if you hold the key in the anti clockwise direction for a good few seconds.

I remember seeing a program about mk4's where peoples car were getting robbed but there was no sign of any attempted break in - people would find their car doors & windows open like you described :shocked: there was a fault with the alarm or something, well dodgy if you ask me
-
its supposed to do that so in the summer when its hot u can get some air in your car before u get in it and fry.

That is a fault on some pre 98 vw models where the lock can be popped out of the handle, giving access to the wiring to release the windows.

ok, so this is actually part of the design then ......??? also i would say its not so much a few seconds as maybe half a second , i have to consciously make sure i do a quick flick of the wrist to make sure it doesnt happen .......is there any official word from VW about this "feature" ?
-
I have total closure on my mk2 built into my clifford alarm
maybe this is total openure (new word!) built into mk4 golfs :D not ideal this time of year though.

I'd check the wiring on the back of the barrel, or maybe get VW to check the barrel itself or the window controller unit.

It is in the handbook, but it should'nt happen as quick as it is :undecided:
