I have a VW Passat 2002 (B5.5), 2.0L, 85kW automatic.
I had to replace the Yaw rate sender (G202), and people here adviced me to try only to clean the connectors. This is what i did, for now.
Ths scanning also show that the driver's door latch need to be replaced (I had some problems with locking the drivers door).
After changing the door latch on Fri., the car was connected to the VAS 50/51 scanner to reset the error code.
After checking the operating of the new latch, I've notice that when leaving the windows open and then lock the car with the remot, the windows does not close. before changing the latch it did!
The manager told me that it is done (the option cancelled) automaticly by the VAS computer up to order from VW, because they had some legal demand (prosecution) about this (accidents with kids hands).
When I use the key to lock and hold it, the windoes close, and when using to open and hold, the windows open. With the remote it's not open nither close.
Do anyone ever hear about this issue, that VW cancelled this option while scanning?
Is there an option to bypass it with VAG-COM?
Thank you (Sorry if I'm not clear with my English)

AFAIK, VW never permitted this feature (with the remote, only with the key) on this model and the dealers have no way of activating it. The only way to activate it is with a firmware hack loaded to the CCM via the diagnostic socket. e.g.

Hmm - very strange. My '05 Superb (same car) will raise and lower all its windows using either the key in the lock or the buttons on the controller.
I suspect this feature has been deleted by accident when resetting the fault codes - the "safety" thing sounds like a cock and bull story as my car has had this feature from new and is later than yours. Consistent, accurate and useful information is not generally forthcoming from Milton Keynes or the dealers.
Find a good independent garage with VAGCOM and ask them to put it back.

I really wanted this feature, and did a lot of research.
My finding was that the feature was available on the Skoda and the Audi, but not on the VW until recently, such as current 3C Passat it does have this feature. The feature can't be coded into the CCM by changing the coding (code which denotes the features and vehicle fitted to), only by modifying the hexadecimal value of an address in the memory.
In my opinion, being able to do this with the key is a disaster and should be disabled (and routinely is). This is how thieves can break into VWs so easily with a 50p screwdriver and the limpest of wrists they can open all of the windows.

Espada -
Ani gar be Yerushalaim (i leave in Jerusalem, Israel).
659FBE -
I had this feeling too (cock and bull), so I wrote today a letter to the Customer Service unit of the importer (called here "Champion Motors"), to ask if it's true or a story just to cover the damage they made to the unit.
Hamsafar -
I had this feature on my previous Golf (2001) and I have it also on my current Golf TSI (2008). If I will not have another choise, I will look for an option to bypass it with someone having Vag-com.
Thank you all for your replys. I will update here when I have something new.
