Something crazy just happened

[dodgey]

to my Skoda RS on the way home tonight. I was driving north on the harbour bridge when all my doors unlocked, and all the windows rolled down halfway.

Pretty scary when it happened. The doors then auto locked about 5 mins later, before the Artarmon turn off.

Have not plugged the VCDS in as yet. Hope it's just a one in a million occurence..

Some sort of electrical interference?
Maybe the Navy were out trialling death rays or something similar on the harbour?

and then a voice said.. " I know you've been thinking of trading me in, Dodgey. Its a long drop off this bridge, you know.."

But seriously, I have heard of this before but usually when the car is stationary. Sometimes people accidentally push their key fob button but I guess this can't be in your case because the keys were in the ignition?.

Found some similar thread here Weird Electrical Stuff!!! - SEAT Cupra.net - SEAT Forum

LOL, I just got my RS in May, like heck I'm going to trade the RS in... It'll be in the family for quite a while.

You're right. Was travelling around 60kmh, so both hand on the steering wheel. Nowhere near the key fob or the windows button, or the door lock button, which was why it was a touch scary...

Check above thread its sounds like water in the window regulator. Freaks people out though.

[dodgey]

Yeah, but all 4 windows and door unlock at the same time? All 4 windows all rolled down about 3 inches at the same time, not all the way down though. It sounds more like an accident recovery situation where the car thinks I've been in an accident, so it rolled down the windows a bit and unlock all doors...

The logic of the guy on the Cupra thread was that the signal for lowering all windows and doors goes through the drivers door so you only need a problem there for this to happen.

I had a similar problem with windows not opening and random door locking situations. It was fixed at a recent service as a factory 'recall' has been issued. A new computer programme was installed in my car and I have had no problems since. The recall code on the label appears to be '64B8'. Normally a recall label is stuck on the drivers door opening.

Similar problem with sunroof

Hi guys

For a while, I htought there was a ghost in my RS. My sunroof opened and closed (rear tipped up) twice on three separate occasions over a month. Dealer checked at last service and found the switch was faulty and is ordering in a new one.

Interested to see if it fixes it.
