Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Getting False Dash Alerts About Doors And Trunks


Mar 6, 2015

So on my vr6 gti I have been getting the dash alerts that my driver's door, right rear door (It''s a two door so this confuses me as well), and my trunk is open. Well none of those things are open.

It fixed itself somehow a while back but when someone moved my car and used the spare valet key, the problem started all backup. I have to turn my interior lights off and I took out the little sound dinger in the HUD so it would stop beeping and drive me nuts.

Golf/GTI VI :: Dash Rattle / Wind Buffeting Noise Around Driver Side Doors

So I had a persistent dash rattle that would mysteriously go away when my car was brought in for service. I took it in a 2nd time, again nothing. So I took the service adviser for a drive until it showed up... then it wouldn't stop.

Shop foreman drove it right after we got back and this time he heard it too... took 4 hours to re/re the dash trim and radio but they found some HVAC ducting was loose from the factory ( b4 work??) and rattling around. They put it back together and apparently put tape around the joints (like you would in your home - I guess from the factory the pipes just snap together). Car is much quieter now. Just hoping this issue doesn't come back in 4-5 years when the tape falls off? It also stopped an intermittent rattle coming from the right side of the dash.

There was also a wind buffeting noise around the drivers side doors. There is a TSB to address this now for 4-door cars. A minor adjustment to a seal and I was good to go, again much quieter. I'll have to see how it fairs at 130kph on the highway, but the buffeting I could already hear at 90kph is completely gone.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Doors Not Locking From Outside Of The Car

Starting a few days ago both of my key FOBs stopped locking the car. They both can still unlock the car and open the trunk, but they cannot lock the car. However the doors can still be locked from the button inside the door. From that I know the locking mechanisms aren't broken so it must be something electronic. What could be causing this?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Remote Won't Unlock All Doors

Soooo the other day i killed my battery, went to get a jump- and after I was running again, i went to unlock my doors and only my driver side door would unlock via my key fob.

Now, the lock function will lock every door, using my key (in the door) will unlock every door. Hitting the unlock button in my car will unlock every door..... just not from my key fob.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Front Doors Stuck

Now my car locks but the lights don't go off and the car horn dosent go off wen I close it what should I do fix this

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Doors Get Locked Automatically

I normally open my Jetta with the key, as apparently the "remote" works on all doors but the driver's one. I will fix it at some point; anyway, what really disturbs me, is that all the doors get locked after a short time I start driving and stay closed even when I stop and turn off the engine. It's very inconvenient because I normally always put something I need to reach on the back seats etc. Can this behavior be changed? Do I have some options?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: No Dome Lights And Doors Won't Lock - Bad Fuse?

I just replaced the alternator on my car last week, and thought the electrical bugs were gone. Today, I tried to replace the two rear dome lights with LED bulbs. I removed the original bulb, put the new one in and noticed that it did not work...so I put the old one back in and noticed it was no longer working either (everything was fine before I took the old one out).

I then tried to turn on the dome/map lights by the rear view mirror, and those won't come on anymore either. I then tried to close the door and lock it with my key remote, but it also no longer functions. Even if I "manually" lock the doors from the inside (via the lock button on the door panel OR actually pressing the lock down into its hole) they just pop back up and won't lock. Obviously I do not want to leave my car like this as someone can now open it and get in... Does this problem sound like a blown fuse? If it doesn't sound like a blown fuse, what else could it be?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Interior Lights Don't Turn Off When Doors Are Shut

If I have the switch set for the lights to turn on when I open the doors, they don't turn off when the doors are shut they just stay on all of the time. Also, sometimes they don't work at all and sometimes they do. My 12v outlet doesn't work either but I am guessing it's the fuse..

Golf V R32 :: False Low Oil Indicator On MFD

...when i checked the dipstick the level looked fine. Should i try to add 1/4 of a quart and see if the warning goes away? I last changed te oil at 15K miles 1 month ago (Now have just over 19k)

I drove from Boston to Florida and back (great long distace cruiser and this was with my wife and two kids!) without any problems. The low oil indicator came on the day after i returned from the trip (this past Sunday). After i checked the dipstick and started the engine the warning went away. Today i drove to a friends house (~10 miles) and when i went to leave the warning came back on.

Is it possile that there could there be a faulty sensor?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Hazard Lights Flash And Doors Lock / Unlock Randomly At Freeway Speed

Every once in awhile when I'm on the freeway, the hazard lights will flash and the doors will lock and unlock for about 3 seconds then stop.

The car is running normally other than this, except that the doors have stopped locking with the fob or the key itself. It is a 2001 2.0L L4 SOHC 8V.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Dash And Headlights Dim When Turn The Signal On

I seem to have a problem with my jetta. It's the 1.8t. When I turn the turn signal on, I can see the dash and headlights dim. Also when I tried putting both windows up at the same time, the car seemed to short out and almost shut off. It reset the time and trip mileage when it did so.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2001 - 3 Out Of 4 Dash Vents Don't Blow Any Air

Of the 4 vents that blow into the passenger's face in my jetta, only 1 really works. All other vents seem to work well (i.e., windshield defrost, footwell etc) but the ones that blow the heat/AC in your face seem to be affected. the one working vent is the driver's side of the 2 central vents (the ones above the stereo) neither of the 2 for the passenger work, and the one by the Driver's door works a bit.

I've tried opening them with the dial on the dash and closing, but that seems to have little effect. Are there dampers or something that can be adjusted on the inside of the vents?

I've spent some time searching on this one and I mostly found how to replace the heater-core and the blower itself. The blower works as does A/C, that one vent is ice-cold, but the other 3 don't really do anything.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: All Dash And Door Lights Aren't Working

Noticed this afternoon that as it got dark outside, all dash and door lights aren't working.

The gauge cluster lights, VERY dimly, but delays by appx 2 seconds before coming on? Only switch light that still works right is the Red ring on the Headlight switch.

Again this is all lights, except lights in headliner work fine, gauge cluster lights very dimly with a delay?
