Doors unlocking themselves after locking (sporadic)

My doors seem to unlock themselves sometimes when I return to my car.

VAGCOM shows this:

1 Fault Found:
00928 - Locking Module for Central Locking: Front Driver Side (F220)
008 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent

Do I need to replace the door latch, the harness, or both?

Did you figure it out?
My 07 now only locks with a key and the right side door will not lock at all and the window will not work from either switch. Pretty much resolved to removing the door panels this weekend to inspect the heck out of it.

I 2nd the door latch. I was having all kinds of weird locking/unlocking issues. I replaced the driver side door latch and all the problems went away. I got it for $125 on amazon.

I had the same codes when my door latch was on its way out.

Hey man, just revisiting this thread.

I did fix the issue. The driver's side door latch had some loose contacts on the circuit board. You have two options. 1) Replace the entire latch with a new one (~$150 to $200?) or 2) Take the latch apart and resolder the loose connections.

Works perfectly now after resolder. I can't find the video, but it was on Youtube.
