Chances are the alarm battery has had it.

 

It's not designed to be replaceable but it is with some tinkering skills. Skoda would rather you replace the entire alarm module.

 

There are plenty of threads about replacing it.

Could be the alarm siren battery has died too. They don't last forever, maybe 8-10 years max

 

I changed my whole alarm unit to a newer revision for 20 quid off eBay

 

Some people just change the batteries, but you need to split the alarm casing and reseal if you do that

 

Easy to Diy, just need to remove front wheel and arch liner to access it and it's up under the front wing secured with a couple of bolts

 

20 minute job

A flat battery might have affected the settings.

 

If you have Maxidot the alarm chirps can be turned on and off, try this first.
