Alarm going off and keys not working

Featured Replies

So this morning I was looking out the window trying to figure out whose car alarm was going off. Turned out it was mine! I had only just moved it from the road on to the driveway. I didn't think it was mine as the indicators weren't flashing. 

Tried to unlock the car with my key..didn't work... spare key also didn't work. Alarm kept stopping and starting, called up Skoda assistance and they're sending out someone from VW between 4-6pm. I could've had the AA come out sooner but as the alarm has stopped going off I'd rather wait. 

 

Any one else had this issue? My car is a 16 plate Fabia Monte Carlo estate. 

They've probably fixed it for you, but it happened too me once early on with my Monte Carlo. 

 

Use your key (but be careful, I slightly scratch my paint). If you look under your driver side door handle, you'll see there is a wee, rectangular hole. Slide your key in, pull the door handle (as in too open it) then pop off the little part that is left (it's plastic and designed to come off). Once it's off, there is a manual lock. 

Once inside, turn on the ignition. This (hopefully) should stop it. Even start engine. To be honest, I can't remember exactly how I stopped it, but get into the car and you can try all sorts from there. 

 

Hope this helsp in the future. :)
