Magic Windows

Post by tweek » Sun Jan 11, 2009 1:58 pm

A neighbour knocked on my door this moring and told me all the windows on my S4 were open, it seems the car has decided to open all the windows just for the hell of it.

Can anyone shed any light on what happened, would there be any fault codes in VAG-COM that could help work out what's going on, nothing has gone missing. All the remote control functions work, etc and the key was not left under anything that could hold the open button down.

Thanks

Pete

Dodgy battery perhaps?

I had the same problem with my old TDi, the only thing that I could imagine happend was I somehow put pressure on the button for a few seconds whilst it was in my pocket thereby opening the locks and the windows. I posted at the time on another site, but never really got a satisfactory answer. :(

Used to be a common thing with B5's when the window ecu got damp - caused by the bulkhead plugs not being cleaned and becoming blocked.
