Does anyone know where the sensors to switch on the interior lights when doors are opened are located. I have a problem with the drivers door which keeps turning the interior lights on when I'm driving along.
Opening and shutting the door solved the problem at first but now I think its kaput! Big problem with this is that the central locaking and alarm now don't work!
Any advice much appreciated!

It is almost certain that the switch is located inside the door latch. This means stripping out the latch and replacing it as a unit. You might be lucky enough to be able to get at the switch and replace it with a stock item, but this is unlikely. I hate to think what VW will charge you for a latch.

IIRMC the switch part can be separated from the latch mechanism. Is the car still under warranty? - if so a diagnostic check should pinpoint the problem.
