Nope that's not right.

The hazard switches are known to fail on your generation of car, a VAG-COM scan might pick that up.

Also, have you checked your passenger footwell for water ingress? These cars (assuming its the B6 model) suffer from Plenum chamber problems. This is where water enters the footwell from underneath the battery cover, there are 2 drain holes which clog up with leaves and all sorts. All you can do is clear these holes, don't remove them otherwise you'll have engine bay fumes in the cabin.

In the footwell is the CCU (Central Convenience Module) which controls all sorts of electrical equipment; interior lighting, remote keys, alarms etc and these go up the wall when the CCU is flooded.

Hazard switch stays illuminated on mine......as I think it should....

[Eshrules]

The hazard switch , if I'm correct, remains illuminated until the alarm arms. It shouldn't stay on for more than a few minutes though.

Hmm... I stand corrected by the looks of things.

Mine doesn't stay on that long, it goes off at the same time as the odometer.
