Sorry I can't help with vag-com as nowhere near you.

In the event no-one here is close to you, You could look on ebay several offer cheap rates to come out and run for error codes. Search for something like: VCDS VAG-COM - FAULT DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE

I am curious as to why the alarm is only going off in the night?

Regarding the door open light it might be a faulty microswitch, usually the drivers as that gets the most use. Read this to see if the fault is like yours:

And for the key programming this might help:

hi verbal
i have now fitted a brand new lock out of desperation
at first it wouldnt register at all ,then it stared to work ,and seemed to register open or closed properly

got in next morning and not working again ,then after a while seemed to be working fine again,parked and locked up
hazzard lights went off after around 1 hour ,re locked and all appears to be working as it should so far

one thing i have noticed if i open the drivers door the car symbol on the dash doesnt appear untill i put the ignition on
not sure if this means anything
going out tonight in the car will let you know what happens

thanks for your assistance

alarm didnt go off last night

verbal_kint sorry mate only said it happens at night cos that when i use the car mostly (works van in the day lol )

got in the car tonight
unlocked car with key ,opened the door and got in ,closed the door ,door open light stayed on and i could faintly here the alarm going off (sound very quite as fuse removed)started car, alarm sound stopped ,checked opening of the door and it stayed on whether the door was open or not

locked the other three doors with the button inside the car and the door open light worked correctly on the dash for the drivers door when i opened and closed it ,open close open close open close all working fine

so it seems its not registering until i lock the three doors from the inside then it works fine
any ideas guys
would like to cure this issue
presume i should get it on vag com ?

thanks ,
