Volkswagen Golf air bag/alarm/boot lock!!
Variant: gti 2.0 8v
Model Year: 2003

Leaks & Noises
Whilst driving home from scotland today the warning panel on my dash came up saying the luggage compartment (boot) was open, I stopped & checked this & found it was not open... I kept going & the warning kept coming on. I stopped halfway home & now the airbag light has come on & says airbag fault when I start the car. To top it all off I've been home half an hour now & the alarms gone off three times. I really dont want to go to the local VW garage as main dealers seem to see me coming every time. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I've found out the problem... the rear window washer hose came off & water got onto the switch for the rear light, took the rear panel off put the hose back on & dried everything out. Tip top now, because the car thinks the boots open thats why the alarm kept going off. Still no idea with the airbag, booked in to VW this week.
