Hi All,
Picked up my first audi a3 the other day from my friend - great car - howver, something has happened with the battery - i may have left the lights on and it ran flat, so i jumped it and got it up and running. Great job til i noticed a ringing siren coming from the boot.
It sounds like an alarm, but is a bit quieter. Ive done a bit of research and people have suggested that this may be something to do with the backup battery, or may need a vag-com reset. My friend has booked it in for a check this sat, to fix whatever is wrong with it (he's a great guy!).
However, the constant ringing - when the car's off AND on, AND being driven is going through my brain. I need the car for work and have no access to another one - so was wondering :
Is there a way i can disconnect the alarm from inside the boot? Or a fuse I can pull? Its just to keep me going until Saturday!!!
Cheers for any helf guys, much appreciated.
