Alarm Going Off!
« on: 21 January 2011, 17:25 »
Help.

My alarm keeps going off for no apparent reason.  Any ideas?  I've opened and closed the doors and made sure all windows are closed and boot but still keeps going off.

What can I do?


HELP, neighbors are going to lynch me :cry:

Turn off the ultrasonics before you set the alarm (button on the B-pillar) and see if it keeps going off.
They could be faulty or set too sensitive.

Mine used to do this .i got the dealers to turn the internal sensitivity down to 90% and this seems to have done the trick.No false alarms for 7 months.
Golfgti build quality is average at best.

Thanks for the help gents, found my iPhone on the passenger seat, taken it out and since then it's been fine.

Coincidence or the cause?

I had a couple of false alarms in 2009- cats probably.

Dealer sorted it . Not happened since.
