Hello everyone,
Just picked up my 2003 '03 1.6 fsi sport from a chap in Cambridge. I live in Fife so it was a fair old trip by train. First came to the forum as I thought I had inadvertantly fried my cars electrics after cleaning the interior using a wet vac upholstery cleaning system (rug doctor). It looked like new after and was really rewarding seeing the 9 years of filth go down the sink when I emptied the machines tank. However on starting the car the following day I had:
1. airbag light staying on
2. passenger side window notching down itself after closing (closing on second attempt)
3. hazard lights coming on themselves whilst driving
4. interior lights staying on when set for courtesy function (all doors closed)
5. door lock button not working (unlock functioning normally)
6. rear interior light not functioning at all
7. a strange chirrup noise (happened only once or twice)
Have spent the last 48hrs intensively drying car (Put it in the garage running a fan heater in cabin with the ccu area exposed) So far all of the above faults appear to have been rectified during drying out except the rear courtesy light problem. Even with the problems still glad I done the interior, it looks like new. Lets hope the electrics forgive me and behave themselves!
