I've encountered a slew of strange issues with my 2012 GTI lately. Here's a quick summary:
- Keyless entry started acting up (wouldn't work, wouldn't work on one side, gas filler cap would start unlocking itself over and over again when I got close to the car, etc.)
- Battery started dying. I'd throw it on the charger and it would be good for a few days or if I went for a longer drive it would charge up but after a few days it would barely be starting
- Weird noise when cabin fan was on. I sometimes her a weird whirring/spooling sound coming from the console when the fan is on level 1 or 2. The sound pitch changes with revs and goes away with the fan off.
- Quiet humming coming from center console after engine is shut off. Very quiet (almost sounds like a computer fan), can only be heard inside the car, can be heard 30 minutes after the car has been turned off.
