My daughter got into her 103 TDI Comfortline and the MFD had a lot of warnings about checking lights, turn indicators, brake lights, front corning lights etc.

Turned indicators on and indicators lit but did not flash.

Turned everything off. Locked the car.

Unlocked, restarted . Same messages and symptoms.

She left it in the garage and took my CC as she was heading to the coast via Macquarie Pass and thought brake lights and indicators may be useful to have.

Ten minutes later I unlocked the car. Turned on the ignition, All functioning normally. Had a short drive. Locked it.

Went through unlock, start, drive routine again and all still functioning normally.

Anyone had a similar experience?

Daughter is pretty car illiterate. Cars are in two categories - NICE and Not Nice - and at least I have schooled her not to drive if there are red warning lights so she was happy it happened in our garage and not out on the open road.

Might check with the dealer but don't seem to be able to reproduce the situation so I am pretty sure what response to expect there.

Daughter assures me as it was not a case of NICE and NICER as she prefers the Golf on the twistier stuff.
