check all your door (open/close) sensors they are prone to deterioration...

also, the car in the pic looks like a 1.4

but i wont tell anyone if you don't '

Anyway, back on topic, check connectors, and switch

Also VAG COM would/should bring a code if there's a dodgy earth etc. It did for my temp sensor on my 1.4

you've told everyone now

check to make sure the bulb is sat properly

the door sensors are on the center pillar near the bottom(front) and at the rear of the back door jam on the back. they usually have a black rubber cover on them. if not it will be a small white plastic button.

right just been outside and can;t test any of the sensors now, i think the bulb has gone aswell, so will have to change that first then check the sensors, anyone know which bulb fits? dont want the yellow oem one though fancy something like led?

you can usually check the sensors by just pressing them and listening to the noise they make while going in. should be smooth (no clicking or creaking noise).
