Evening all,

Family member has a 2003 1.6 Match with an odd fault, any thoughts please;

On unlocking the car, opening the door & getting in unless you start the car within 15-20 seconds the door often re-locks and the alarm goes off. Having known the car for 10 years and having had a MK5 myself I thought the car would only re-lock if you unlocked but didn't open the door?

All the internal lights including the boot one appear to be functioning correctly. Any thoughts please?

Many thanks

AGK

There are some micro switches in the door locks* that can cause this as well.

Applying a bit of WD40 can often effect a cure.

  • the actual latching part in the door itself.

ETA: Google "audi door lock microswitch" for more info.
