Hi,
My 54 1.4TDI Twist, has central locking, but not remote central locking, so locking is only possible with the key.
So I park up, turn off engine, get out of the car, lock (whole car) with the key in the drivers door walk away.......... about 1 minute later, the two front electric windows open fully of their own accord, and the central locking system unlocks the whole car, and then the lock buttons/motors click up and down very quickly and continuously..............then it stops and 1 minute later it starts again, and so on.
So I have had to take out the fuses for windows and central locking system, otherwise the car is always unlocked with the front windows open
Also, this is really bizarre, the recirc button (left of aircon switch) is always on..........., this is really annoying as it does not allow fresh air into the car, only recirc air, so the car steams up. I push the recirc button and the light goes out for 5 seconds, and then comes straight back on again, i.e. recirc activated.
I read in the manual that when you put the car into reverse, the recirc button is automatically engaged to prevent fumes from coming when whilst reversing, however on my car it is engaged all the time, except guess what , when I put the car in reverse the recirc light goes out.......... so it is functioning back to front.
This is a great car, and it is only 4 years old, I have never had a car with these weird electrical faults before.
Is there some some of reset procedure......... the local VW dealer wants 100 quid just to look at it..........
Can anyone help me with these issues? Any help here gratefully appreciated,
