Just to let anyone know who is having their alarm go off - I've discovered that the rear washer pipe had disconnected, causing washer fluid to leak on to the rear boot sensor. The wet sensor was causing the alarm to come on. Easy to fix when you know how - remove the rear panel (first remove the 4 screws, 2 of which are under the warning triangle housing). Then reach in and reconnect the pipe. A squirt of WD-40 on the electrical connection and that was it. This must be a common problem for A4s because the washer pipe has come off before. Hope this helps.:D
