MGquattro Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 HI Folks Here's a good one..... The wife's 2002 1.9 Tdi A3 (8L) has started behaving badly. When she stops the car and gets out the interior lamp fades out as normal but then fades back on again, and then oscilates on and off, She is unable to lock the car as ultimately the alarm gets set off. I hve scaned with VCSD but can see nothing wrong. I have put a new battery into it as her original was quite old but it is still happening. Any words of wisdom? thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 My guess would be Door Control Module. They are known to be problematic on the MK4 Golf so I would assume it's a similar part on the A3, although I've not heard of that symptom before. .

MGquattro Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Thanks Cuprabob, Is there one in each door or is there just the one module ? Any idea where it would be located ? it does sound like a moisture around module problem.... Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) There is one on each door and it's located next to the door catch This video might give you a better idea. Also a few useful links in this thread http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/p/477188/3328296.aspx Edited November 4, 2013 by Cuprabob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGquattro Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Thanks for that.... Have just noticed that neither the bonnet or boot shows open on the DIS whereas each door does.... But have yet to observe the fault condition which triggers the interior light etc..... Thanks again for the pointers..... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
