Hi all,

I have recently bought a Mk4 2.0 GTi (W reg 2000). Unfortunatly I am having a couple of issues with the electrics; 1) the alarm tends to go off for no apparent reason, 2) the boot light is temperemental, and 3) the heated rear screen doesnt seem to be working.

Having looked through numerous other posts on this site and others regarding issues 1 and 2, I gather a common problem is water leaking from the washer pipe into the boot locking mechanism!!??

My question is whether anyone out there has had troubles with their rear screen heater. The light on the switch comes on, but the heating elements don't seem to be working. It seems quite coincidental that all of these problems centre around the rear of the car, so any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers.

p.s. I found this link from another post on this site explaing how to fix the alarm and boot light issue. http://golfmk4.co.uk/rear_screen_washer_repair.htm
