twolf1 0 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Help - when I went to me Vr in the morning yesterday the drivers window was wide open, stuck me head through the car and set the alarm off, luckly it wasnt a windy night last night otherwise i expect it wud of been going off all night.I assumed it was just my misses forgetting to lock it last night or close the window.Got home today, parked the car and just now alarm started going off again (about 1 hour after it was parked), went outside and windows were wide openWhy are they opening randomly after she is locked with the key fob - would really appreciate help on this as am worried this will happen when i've left me car in town or somewhere where it can be easily robbed.

lee123d 0 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 change the central locking motor in the back of the boot as they are known for doing it when they are on the way out listen at the boot and see if it sounds like its struggling when locking car if its not change your battery as its a safety mechanism for the windows to go down if battery is knackered Link to post Share on other sites
twolf1 0 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Brill - thanks bud, its funny cus the boot mechanism randomly sometimes sounds like its *Struggling* and "Humms" for a few minutes before it eventually stops when central locking is pressed so maybe its on its way out.If it cud also be the battery, why does it affect the windows?Also, why does the central locking affect the windows?

lee123d 0 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 i dont know i found it out when my battery went flat my windows were open i charged it and went to start but the battery died and windows came down put a new battery on it was fine then my central locking motor started struggling same thing happened then changed it. say you lock your car with the key and keep it turnt after locking the windows go up and when you unlock the car with key and kept key turnt it unlocks windows asthey run off the same motor as central locking Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Lol how strange... I had exact same issues on my mk3 VR6... Really cold weather the windows would come down!! Even if I pressed the button to close they'd go down again! Problem went away when it warmed up! No good when it's snowing though. Never did get to the bottom of it as I wrote it off in the end Link to post Share on other sites
