Alarm Issue

[ValleyBoy]

My 2003 Passat 1.9 TDi alarm goes off some time after being locked for no apparent reason. The alarm only activates the once. I've tried switching off the alarm (pressing remote locking button twice or twice locking car with key) but it still happens. Any ideas?

Check your rear courtesy lights/alarm sensors... had a similar issue in my bora.... changed one and it solved the issue outright.

Beyond that I have no idea dude

try pushing the button on the drivers door pillar on the inside , it turns the interior sensors off so im informed.... for when pets are in the car.

It does... but from the manual its temporary and does re-arm

Check for water under passenger side front carpet. If wet dry out the central convenience unit and it's wiring and clear the plenum drains (under the battery and another roughly under the servo)
