Post by CHAN_B » Fri Feb 25, 2005 6:27 pm

Hi ppl. I have an S3 which is just under four years old. Since last week the alarm has been going off. i called the the AA hoping he could sort it but he jsut disconnected the battery which is a lot of use!!! any ideas what is wrong and how to fix? the card only has 30k miles on it.

I'm suprised you can hear it, my S3 alarm is pants!

Have you tried turning the interior sensors off with the button by the drivers seat?

Take it to a dealer of find someone local who has VAG-COM. It's simply then a case of looking at the diagnostics and it should say what's wrong.

Cheers ppl. i can't really hear it, but my neighbours always seem to!!! will pop down to an audi stealer and get it looked at. someone mentioned it may be moisture getting into the alarm controller box so will try to have a tinkle myself first.
