GazLupo27 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 If anyone knows? im pretty sure they are on the mk4 Golf so not sure if the backup battery for alarm is on lupo GTI too.If there isnt one then its not a problem as i can sleep fine, its just if my alarm starts going off at 2 in the morning and doesnt stop and i dont know how to stop it.Or if there is a fuse you can take out or anything??

Rich Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 There's a battery in the alarm itself which is under the scuttle panel on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
