Probably the ignition switch mate, easy to fit and cheap to buy, main dealer part around £16, cheaper off ebay

Have you changed the ignition switch as advised in the quote above? As said very common on mk7. N

For the sake of £16 just replace swith and rule it out, they cause all sorts of weird problems when fooked
