Unlock the boot and the windows open?!

[The Stagg]

Hi, not a problem, merely an observation. When the car is locked and i unlock the boot with the key, sometimes all the windows open! It may be when I turn the key the wrong way first or something. As I say, its not a problem for me, as i rarely use the key on the boot, I just thought it was strange and I don't have the manual. What is it all about??? (passat 1.8 turbo petrol)

i had that when i tryed the key in the door it put the window down a bit then turned the key the other way it closed it it a feature that they call(full closure)when you us the key it might be faulty. but i always us the remote

i had my car on vagcom and it said i have fault on my central locking but asfar as im concerned it all works okay

one quick thing... when you are unlocking you are not holding the UNLOCK button down are u?? as this can be set up to roll all the windows down..

no it is using the key in the door lock the early vw's dont have it so you can use the key fob

... its possible that I may have been pressing the button at the same time as turning the key. My remote central locking doesn't actually work so I didn't really consider that. (it may just be the battery, when i've sorted the power issue out i'll look into it) As I said, its no big deal to me, I just wondered if there was a reason for it!
