Most of the time this is due to a bad connection or a failing ignition switch.
Passat door locks keep clicking.
What s strange is it does this every time it goes above 10 mph so in a parking lot the rear door locks are repeatedly clicking each time the car slows and speeds up.
This issue started yesterday every time i go above 10 miles the door locks auto engage as if they are not locked.
What have you tried so far.
Our passat locks the doors as soon it crosses above 10 mph.
A few weeks ago the metal gas door cover came off at the carwash.
This is super annoying as i live in the dc area where stop and go traffic is quite common.
It sounds like the noise is coming from the rear locks.

A retired vw mechanic friend said that rear passenger door mechanism may be shorting out.
That would be normal if it happened once a trip.
I would treat these as separate issues though.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it.
I think this may have to do with my gas door.
If this is occurring with the locks as well as a power loss then you may have a bad ignition switch.
Mechanic s assistant are you fixing your passat yourself.
When ever i drive my car the automatic door locks keep clicking.
The door locks on both sides click most of the time when i stop turn a corner etc.
Would that cause it.
