Should your polo bleep/make a noise to warn you you've left your lights switched on when you take the keys out and open the door?
Mine doesn't.

Hard to say... does the interior light still work as normal?

The buzzer is in the instrument cluster...could be a fuse

Mine does the same as yours by the way - no buzzer when the lights are left on and the door is opened. Flattened my battery twice before now because I've forgotten to switch the lights off!
If you find out the cause I'd be grateful if you can let us know what it is... its one of those things I keep meaning to get around to but never do!

Mine is the same
it hasnt done it since I bought the car so never really knew that it should do it
I'm not fixing something I never knew was broken though, unless its a straight forward job

Any ideas which one it would be? Does it say in a Haynes manuel?
Thought it would list them on the back of the cover but it doesn't.

Looking at the diagram, it looks like it results from a faulty drivers door switch (these have three wires). It can also result in the fuel pump not pre-priming when the drivers door is opened for the first time in a while.
