alarm problems flashing indicators

[malakoffone]

i have bought a 2.8 quattro avant with full main dealer history 2000x. I drove from London last night and on arriving home locked the car on the blip. After 10 seconds the indicators started to flash as if the hazzards were on. I have checked the doors and windows but this happens if the car is locked on the key or the blip. it even does it if the car is unlocked. HELP!

Hi malakoffone,
I had a '98 A4 1.9 TDi until recently and had this happen while i was driving along. I discovered at the end of a sweaty journey (people flashing me and trying to overtake etc) that it was because I'd accidentally pressed the deadlock button on the remote locking thing as i got in the car. On this car it wasn't a flip key it was a separate key and remote, which I doubt you have on your newer model, but if you have a deadlock you could check that.
