Investigate the fault codes.... each time alarm goes off it stores a freezeframe in the fault memory, this will tell you why it went off.
So ask someone with VCDS or VCP to check fault codes for you.

Also, check the battery condition as a faulty battery will cause the alarm to sound. Fairly common reason for the alarm to sound randomly.

Thanks for your responses ill check both solutions but i do have a feeling it might be the battery but i will check the codes 1st and see what the problem can be.
