Had a bit of a nightmare day with my golf. My alarm was constantly going off today, pretty much every 10 mins.
Found that it was saying the rear drivers side door was open, which it wasn't. So obviously a fault with the door. Driving it the interior lights were on and warning tone for an open door.
Took it down to my local Indy garage and they scanned the car. Came back with a fault in the window control and he told me the window motor also controls the lock mechanism in the door module?
While I'm here I should mention I have had trouble with this door as it wasn't locking. Changed over the lock mechanism and still no change.
Anyway he told me chances are the door module needs replaced and it's coming in at about £300!! But I've booked the car in for him to take a look at the wiring and stuff before any parts are ordered.
Also after I got home from the garage I turned off my engine and the headunit wouldn't go off? No ignition on and doors locked and still on. Also my battery was drained. Got it started and took it a drive and this problem went away, just seemed a bit weird. My cars booked it for next week and the alarm hasn't been going off, just concerned waiting that long and risk really annoying my neighbours.
Anyone any input on this and also know if I can pick up a door module cheaper? Seems a bit steep.
