Ah?? Mine is past its best, rear switches work down but not up. I bought a second hand unit last year but it was just as bad when I fitted it so sent it back.

I cant remember exactly what was up with one of mine but do remember cutting two of the terminals in the rear connector of the drivers window pack & I think that is the connector that controls the "all lock" function from inside the car....

Thanks, I did leave the the rear plug out so the rear switches didn't work so I didn't open the rear windows by mistake and not be able to close them and found out later my mirrors didn't work!! so had to plug them back in.

A new switch pack is on my todo list.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

I have played a little more with this now & mine only cycles the unlock if the key is in the ignition so perhaps its meant to be like that so you cant accidentally lock the door as you get out. I have also fitted a known good door lock and its still the same. It doesnt bother me at all I'm just not sure if its meant to do it. Maybe some other p1 v70 owners can shed some light on it if theirs does ot too

Do you mean the switch unit or the window motor?

Update on this after actually reading the manual 😂 it is supposed to do it when the key is in presumably to prevent accidental locking of the door if you get out & catch the lock pin.
