LuPo SpOrTX Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Do you have an aftermarket stereo? Mine makes a series of beeps when i turn the engine off to let me know the Ipod is still connected and the facia is still on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oam100 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 It's the handbrake. If you haven't applied the handbrake when you switch the engine off, then it beeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermmurray Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) i get this too.. its not the handbrake or seatbelt or the parking lights or the headunit... i think abs is the most likely.. if you turn the car off while you are breaking (with the car still moving) that might have something to do with it... not sure tho..

mhfox Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi,I have had this low pitch beep on and off, VW have no idea as all dealers will say "cannot hear it or find a fault" It is normally heard if you have your foot still on the brake pedal once stopped after moderate to heavy braking but not every time! You can hear it while driving once you know what listen out for. It is in fact the ABS pump, a very noisy one at that. To test this if you keep your foot on the pedal once you hear the noise and have stopped the pump will after a while stop making the noise and the pedal will then lower!Hope this stops you from thinking your mad like I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermmurray Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 i dont think so as its an electrical beep.... :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbennettz Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Has anyone figured out what this is yet? i've had it a couple times when parking up in front of my house but i have never heard where it is coming from. I dont see any lights coming on in the dash area and there doesn't seem to be any sort of pattern to when it makes this noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 This is a 4 year old post so I presume someone found out what the problem was and solved it.I'd imagine you might have left an indicator on while parking and switched the ignition off, it'll leave a side light on but not show any dash lights.

lbennettz Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Ahh, okay ill check and see if it does the noise next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonsFoxR Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I am also experiencing this lol! I do have an aftermarket headunit but I don't think it is that... It is completely random.. its about two seconds long, It always confuses me and I don't know why it does it. It is definitely not the indicators / lights I think it has something to do with me switching the car off when its still rolling..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
