I’ve heard of it! Get ya tools out,easy enough job.
Give the carriers a clean out with a file and check your pistons while you’ve got your pads out.

Craig

I’d have a guess that your door panel seal has gone? and water is coming over the sill trim.
Also did you ever lift your passenger side carpet?
I’d bet you have water under there eating your electrics also corrosion in your wiring plugs behind kick panel.

Craig

If your cars locking itself after 30 sec with the door open? It’s your main micro switch or associated wiring/board(99% it’s the switch) easy test. The last one I did on mine was a fracture in one of the wires to the switch! Chopped the wires shorter and re-soldered job done. If you pop these module...

Use butyl sealing cord,clean out the bottom edge and around 100mm up each side of said panel.
Apply your cord,put panel back and tighten! Job
done.
No mess great seal and easy to remove in the future should need be.
Done all my doors with it! Great stuff.

I had the very same thing recently on my wagon. I checked every square inch of my wiring(carpets out) even tried different ccm. After deciding and checking all my earths as a last resort I found out there's one right next to the Ariel mount under the rear headlining. Strange thing is it was solidly ...

I used the same ones as above from flea bay
Good fit and easy installation

Craig

As above! Car doesn't know that the door is open hence no lights on buzzer.
Micro in door gone south.

Craig

Not the big orange and I think it's blue!!!
There will also be some standard ones yellow 20amp tucked in there and one will be for your centre consol rear cigarette lighter.

Craig

Yeah,there's some yellow(20 i think) that are behind dash and on/next to the relay board.
You should find your culprit there.
Couple of torx headed bolts to drop the lower section of dash T25 i think?,job done.

Craig

Yeah,straight swap out of the main micro on the lock body and your sorted. Two wires soldered into the circuit inside the module. I've had all mine out,checked,repaired on both my wagons. While your in there id look to be doing your carrier panel seal! Only need to do the bottom edge and around 150m...

When you first open the car with your fob,open the drivers door and wait(normally around 30 seconds?) does the car lock itself with the door open?
Sounds like bad micro switches to me!

Craig

I had same issue on previous wagon.
Took the level sender unit out and used some electrical contact cleaner on the arm and it's opposite contact.
Job done and back to no dodgy readings.

Craig

All well and good,but was it an original vw moth
Or a later English add on

Craig

Looking good
Fingers crossed it's just your actuator that's failed?

Cheers Craig

First off,your lock has seized through lack of use with the key.(release spray/3in one and gently turning freed mine) I'm now a font of knowledge regarding tailgate locks ~x( Having not had a opening tailgate on my fairly newly purchased wagon i was not resting until I got it fully functioning with ...

Is your a/c fan running as soon as you put your a/c on? I've had lack of aircon diagnosed as failed fan! Next job when get chance. Craig Sorry to jump in, but should the smaller fan come on when temp all way down on auto? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Apparently so and should come on when au...

Craig

x_x That's what commonly known as a bodge job!!! Jesus some people shouldn't really be messing with things like that [-x A matching plug from a like colour wiring loom will make things easier! Saving on referencing two sets of diagrams. As has been mentioned,the plugs in the kick panel are also like...

Yeah bad micro switch,easy enough to replace if you can solder.
Done a couple on this and previous wagons and the switches are cheep as chips.

Craig

Your luggage compartment is controlled by the micro switch in your tailgate lock.
Three wires,common,normally open,normally closed.
Mine had very slight corrosion causing fault! Cleaned it up and the three pins in the connector and bingo.
Easy check with a multimeter on micro switch.

Cheers Craig

Thanks for the kind offer bud,really appreciate it.
I'm starting to think I have an issue with the ccm
But don't want to buy one as it might not be and it's something I've missed.

Craig

Coventry,it's a 130 wagon on a 53 plate.

Cheers Craig

Yes,done that one it in the horizontal position so should be able to open with handle above number plate,switch or fob! I've got none of this even though the switch in tailgate handle checks out good?
Thanks for the input.

Craig

problem! Tailgate won't open with switch in drivers door? Or with fob.(Checked earths,all good) checked power good to both live supply to switch (one feeds switch,one feeds ilumination) when fob pressed the relay in ccm can be heard clicking. Tailgate light works when tailgate open also showing lugg...

I feel your pain
This is my second wagon and all carrier panels have been off/locks checked/repaired and re sealed!!
I'm thinking about doing a blindfold how to version.
I must be getting better at it as the last one took me half hour from start to finish

Craig
