Right then...

this morning the weirdest and strangest thing happened!!!

Started the car, took the missus to work, drove to my work..... got to my work and was just about to turn off the ignition when the interior light came on without me opening the door!!!!

Then the central locking tried to unlock itself about 5 times or so before both windows suddenly roled themselves down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I turned the car off and back on, and the windows wouldn't work, i couldn't get them up at all!!! Got out the car and locked it manually with the key and held the key in and both the windows went back up!

Locked it and unlocked it with the remote...

Thought i better get in and try again, started the car back up and all was fine, just blipped the throttle pedal and the interior light came on again and the car began to try and unlock again and again......no windows this time...

tried the same thing as before, locked, unlocked and restarted car, blipped throttle and the interior light came on again and the windows went down!!!

WHAT THE HELL!!!!

Blooody weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any help? sounds like electrical gremlins but ive never ever had any problem with the electrics at all!!!!!

Will vag.com it later on this morning i think!

...i had similar gremlins the other day and a fuse blew, changed it and was all ok afterwards. I think the interior light, unlock button and windows are on the same fuse if this helps

the things i had was the hazzards going off even theough the button wasnt pushed in, the interior lights flickered on and off eventually stopped working, the locking button would only lock and not unloc, and windows went down a tad like on coupes lol

can't see any water around the door switches, suppose have to take the door card off to check motors........

bloody annoying...

could it be water in to the ECU? will check that and also will take the battery off for 30mins and let it reset itself.... are my only other ideas...

Sounds like some sort of cycle of checks or something like an electrical diagnostic test!?
