Take the drivers seat out flip it upside down you will see a yellow plug, you need to cut the plug out and rejoin the wires, the plug is a common fault! Easy fix

See http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,39137.msg464177.html#msg464177 as there is a link to the repair also

Thanks very much guys, I did search but couldn't find anything. I was worked it could be an expensive issue, my car is 3dr and 2005 so chances are this will sort mine out. Thanks again  :happy2:
