Car Alarm going off

Featured Replies

I have a Octavia mk2 pre FL Tdi vRs and My car alarm has started going of regularly. The Red LED is setting correctly once the car is locked. I have access to VCDS but am not sure which module and blocks I should be looking at.

 

Tonight I found in module 46 central convince a section on alarm activations with an allocated number. could anyone point me in the right direction of where I should be looking to find alarm events? and if this is the right section what the each number represents as the area that has set the alarm off. 

Could someone run me through the process to find these alarm events. 

Thanks

As your car is pre-facelift then I wonder if you have changed the alarm battery yet. First sign of failure seems to be random operation of the alarm. Thee battery rarely seems to last more than eight years.

Search on here and you will find many threads on the issue plus details of how to change the battery or, more commonly, replacing the alarm with a Chinese version.

 

You may not find any stored alarm activation events if the siren is doing its own thing as the battery fails.

Would the siren still sound if it was the battery and the LED light is suggesting it is locking correctly?

I believe that I have found the correct alarm activation event and the number stored is 1 - but I am getting mixed information about which latch this refers to on the car. 

Any further help would be appreciated. 

Thanks
