whitt16v Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Hi, just wondering if anyone can help. Whenever I lock my car (1997 polo 1.4 16v) using the fob to central lock it, the alarm goes off! Any ideas on why and how 2 solve it? Got some scrotes lurking around recently and I'm having to manually lock it, and therefore not enabling the alarm. Cheers for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pscarbro Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I could be wrong but it sounds like a short in the system. Have you checked all the wiring, etc? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritesh Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 get a diagnostic read out done, it should tell you a fault code and it likely to be a faulty bonnet pin switch or even possibly due to water leaking in through the pollen filter. This is rather common across VWs in general. if its under warinty get VW to rectify it. If not kick up a fuss as its a known problem, try to get them to fix it as a goodwill gesture.
