My wifes 98 A3 has recently opened both front windows, twice while left in the local shop car park. It's only done this a couple of times (that we know about) but as we both work away from home its a less than helpful fault.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Cheers

My wife managed to leave the only remote locking key she has in Sweden, so it's not the fob!
If it is water ingress into the ECU any idea how much/where it is?

Why are the passenger's feet under the carpet?

my mums mk4 golf estate had this problem, would randomly find that the windows were open. think it was eventually traced back to a fault with the alarm system, the car got broken into and instead of the alarm going off, it opened the windows (definitely not playing into the hands of mr car thief). and before any is clever and says they didnt break in and that the windows were open so they pinched the few bits they took, the lock barrel was missing from the door!
