Ghost story
After locking my Bora the car unlocks itself and all the windows automatically open, with lots of switch clicking and hazards going on and off. This can happen as soon as I have left it or sometimes overnight and the windows remain open until discovered.

Sometimes something pressing the keyfob. More often water in the locking and window ECU inside the driver’s door. I get an average 5 reports of this every week and have done for 10 years. It's a problem that VAG doesn't seem to have fixed.
