Mr.Badbrains Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Might be a door microswitch related problem. Check if your dome light goes on and off like it should when you open and close the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indie Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Yes possibly! I think they were both pretty duff though.Actually I have a feeling I killed them leaving them on the floor when I'm a 5-a-side footy. Can get a bit wet sometimes, so probably eventually fubar'd the remote! Works a treat now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrera-gt Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Try turning off the volumetric sensor using the button just in case it's that, otherwise door microswitches are the likely culprit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirk1978 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 My alarm kept going off and it can be stopped by disabling the interior sensor with the button on the B pillar.So I vacuumed out the sensor, then disconnected and reconnected it a couple of times which seems to have helped.

carrera-gt Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 You may want to replace the sensor, if it keeps doing it they do get old. Not sure how much but bound to be expensive from VW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
