No thats not normal, sounds like it could be the relay or you may need a new comms unit.

Sounds like you are non-plexed and have the wrong stalk fitted to your car.
Needs modifying or fit a relay

Do you still have the old one? If you fit that for the time being, send me the new one and I'll fix it for you.

Still doesnt explain it Lee.
The GTi had crystals as standanrd thus having the right stalk. It wasnt mentioned until leter in the post that OP had replaced the stalk.
