Mk5 General Area / MK5 – Interior light stays on, battery drain
« Last post by t4jo on March 21, 2026, 01:44:31 pm »Hi,
I have an issue with my MK5. Sometimes when I lock/unlock the car, the interior light (above rearview mirror) stays on and drains the battery.
Dashboard shows all doors closed. Problem happens only sometimes.
What I’ve done:
• replaced driver door lock
• replaced all wiring in driver door
Still the same.
When the issue happens, I hear an extra locking sound from the passenger side (like it locks twice). At that moment, the interior light stays on.
So I think it could be:
• passenger door lock (microswitch?)
• wiring in passenger door
• or comfort module
Also, question: how should the lock/unlock buttons on driver door work? (see picture)
On my car only the lower button (lock) works, upper button does nothing.
Any ideas?

Thanks 👍

I would remove the aux belt and see if noise stops.

The rattle sound doesn't start straight away on on start up, it seems to ease in as it warms up.

Mk5 General Area / MOT Advisory Help - Suspension
« Last post by Jons1001 on March 18, 2026, 12:53:23 pm »Hi all,
Had the following advisories
Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i))
Offside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i))
Please can anyone tell me if this is what i need?
https://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/tt-uprated-wishbone-console-bushes-for-golf-mk5-platform.html
Also, will anything else need to be replaced e.g are there any stretch bolts - if so does anyone know which to order?
Cheers
