My 01 Golf has started acting silly bugger with me.
First off, one of the rear doors won't unlock with the central locking. Can't get it open at all. That happened 2 days ago.
Now today when I was turning the key in the drivers door back and forward a few times to try and unlock the rear door, ALL 4 windows went down fully at the same time.
Are my electrics on the way out, or is it a simple fix?
the issue with all 4 windows going down is a standard feature on VW and Audi cars. Hold the key to the left in the lock and all 4 windows open.
The central locking issue is a common fault. The contacts in the lock module tend to crack. See this tread http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthre...or-locks-explained-why-you-re-having-problems
Another point of weakness on the golf is the clasps that hold the window in the door. If you got to get the lock module fixed its worth taking a look at these as well. If there is any damage, replace them.
