ChadW Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi, Is the the Golf alarm renowned for going off on its own? My Mum's 6 year old TDi alarm went off the other week for no reason, has not done it since. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 The alarm on my R32 has went off twice in the last 2 weeks which coincided with very windy weather and heavy hailstones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotty Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Check your rear wash / wipe. Sometimes the pipe inside the tail gate leaks and drips onto the boot lock mechanism, thus shorting it and flagging up a fault. This causes the alarm to activate. It happened to me when I first bought my GT TDI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjie Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Sotty's spot on, is the inside of your boot (possibly under the carpet) a bit damp? I suspect so. Have a look at the roof lining behind the rear passenger door too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
