sorry to say but the mk5 has issues with the fuse box its a common fault with them

could be something as simple as a coupler not fully cliped in remove them 1 at a time and refit

worth a try

they have a double layer curcuit board inside which are held together via loads of solder tag connections if the problem is not visable on the outer then its a no go imo m8

pop it out and remove the fuse cover first then the main cover you might be lucky and find your problem

remember take pics as you go for all relay positions and bridging links

replacement is costly depending on what box u have
