Windows and sunroof opening/closing with key not working anymore

Post by 6N2GTI »

Good afternoon guys,

One of the best options (if you'd ask me) of the 6N2 GTI is you can close or open all windows/sunroof using the key to turn clockwise or counterclockwise and hold it there for some seconds.

However, this nice function suddently does not work with my GTI anymore.... Not opening and not closing. Too bad since I use this option (for closing) quite often.
Does anyone had this or knows how to solve probably?
It used to work with the CV remote as well in the past, but the old receiver died so replaced with aftermarket, haven't worked since then (but "manually" with the key still did)..

Cheers guys !!

Presume it works from neither drivers or passengers? Its done via a link between the central locking system and the window motors using the convenience module. Im sure theres some VCDS testing you can do to check actuation of the microswitches

Does the CL lock and unlock using the drivers door key in the lock?

Hi Alex and good evening

Many thanks for your quick and useful reply (as always :mrgreen: )
No it won't work with either doors.
Now you're saying it.... Since a while when I open the car with the key, only that specific door is opened.. but when I use the remote everything opens as it should.
You think this could be a VCDS / "software" thingy or something with the central locking pump/control unit?

Cheers Marvin
