One press to deadlock - as per the handbook.  I don't think two presses disables the alarm though - just disables the deadlocking.  Easy to test the alarm.  Lock yourself in the car and jump around!  Same for the deadlocking - lock yourself in and then try to open the door (two pulls on the internal handle to open the door) if the door opens it's not deadlocked  :wink:

Best way of testing the alarm... Lock yourself in  :evil:

Our car is one click. Unlocks passenger doors. Nother unlocks passenger and boot doors.
To lock= One click.

With regards to your other post. You dont have the highline so for now probably take it to a dealer. They wil change it quick quick.

Doesn't have any extras. 06 reg so not new, wv approved used car, £5 short of £16k. 25k on the clock. I thought that was a reasonable price for car that age. serviced this year. no dents **knock on wood**. Lovely car. But...didn't realise at the time, no carpet mats, which I have not ordered.

Radio system not most exciting but playing CDs I think CD quality very good indeed. Shame does not have highline I guess, would be handy, and reverse kurb-adjusting mirrors, since doing this manually at the moment. Lots of parallel parking at work.

But overall very chuffed, such improvement from my old car. Eagerly a/w weekends for b-road action.

True, when I bought my GTI with DSG from a VW dealer the salesman told me that the DSG has more BHP than the manual box thats why they are quicker.  I did try and correct him but just left him to believe himself in the end  :grin:

My dealer tried convincing me that they would be bringing out a diesel version of the ED30. It was almost believable.
