Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Sunroof & Windows Malfunctioning

    Hi Guys,

    Has anyone experienced with their sunroof open and close by itself? Sometimes my windows open by itself as well. Very strange.

    Does anyone know what the problem is?

    Thanks

    Best place to start would be to scan the car on VCDS for fault codes Henry.

    You're more than welcome to bring it over to mine and I will scan it for you.

              Our sunroof opens (tilts) by itself. Usually when cruising along the Expressway or just tootling along at 60ks Never closes itself. Doesn't slide by itself. Turn knob to open then back to close and it closes, only to open again a day or so later?? Windows behaving OK so far.

                Check your driver's door wiring harness, where it passes from the door and into the A-pillar. Just pull the rubber boot back as far as you can, and check for broken wires.

                I'm almost certain something to do with the sunroof is in that harness, and goes back to the driver's door control module.

                  If It wasn't a VW I would think you are having a lend of me Umai. Yet VW logic says you are right, why would a sunroof with the controls on the roof just in front of it not have wiring going into the drivers door?? Pity VW chose to use wire which hardens and breaks after a few hundred cycles. One in the tailgate broke and the others there are quite stiff.
