Title: Bloody alarm!!!
Post by: Nicky753 on 22 March 2013, 16:44

Hi guys!...it may be something really simple but i'm scratching my head here..
S-reg 1.8 20v....every time I start the car up the alarm goes off. Sometimes for just one round and sometimes maybe four (by which time i'm usually 2 miles down the road pretending it's not me!)
Looked in Haynes and glovebox booklet and done a little reading on here and am now stumped.
Only got one key by the way which is a banjo type 2 button remote.

My guess would be a faulty door module. Any issues with the central locking?

central locking works fine...car starts every time despite alarm sounding...new battery in key..

could be a door module, could be the ccm, could be a wiring issue, could be the siren itself or even a random battery issue. you can check the batttery terminals and fuses without tools easy enough.. but to learn any more than that you're going to need vagcom and a multimeter.

Is there any way of disabling the alarm for the time being until I can get help?

Another thing...all my other golfs when the alarms went off had the hazards flashing...doesn't happen on these occasions..

Try using the key in the door lock. Lock the car then turn it again to double lock it. Then Try unlocking the car with the key. It might reset the alarm

Anyone know where the alarm siren thing is located?.....got a big hammer getting a little impatient  :angry:

Post by: asboGTI on 26 March 2013, 18:52

surely if you took the alarm fuse out it would activate the imobiliser

Title: Re: Bloody alarm!!!
Post by: Nicky753 on 26 March 2013, 19:22

There is no fuse listed in the manual that deals with the alarm....I just want to shut the thing up :sad:
