no worries guys, solved the problem, the live from the battery was touching the frame of the rear seat, very weird eh, when i removed the rear seat was all oky, so a rubber matt does the trick,

You were lucky,
Many VWs Burn when someone kneels on the rear seat to get something... usually in a Beetle or type 3 Variant... OR
A Large person sits on top of the battery,,, the seat springs touch the terminals of the battery, and You have a seat on fire..... followed by the rest of the Car...
I used to use an old truck mud flap on top of the Battery...
or You can buy the Genuine VW type battery that has covers over the posts...
