MK6 GTI Random Alarm
« on: 05 November 2011, 15:09 »
Im having some strange electrical things going on at the moment, firstly i had my bulb out light on the dash come on about 2 weeks ago. All bulbs were fine, switched the car off set alarm unlocked it got back in light went out. It did the same again 2 days later, same solution to sort it. It hasnt happened since.

This last week my alarm has mysteriously gone off on its own, checked all windows, doors and anything inside the car. Lock and unlock the car then it was fine, last night it did it again, luckily wasnt to late. I have booked it in to my local dealer, its still under warranty thankfully, so will see what conclusion they come to.

I have had about half a dozen false alarms in my golf over the last two and a half years,I took it to the dealer and asked them turn down the sensitivity it still does it occasionally,when they plugged it into the computer "computer says no" and no data had been stored  :rolleyes:
Golfgti build quality is average at best.

I have a feeling i will get the same reply from my dealer, computer always says no. That is until you are out of warranty.
