Disable Alarm?

[Gorepe15]

Seems to be lots of alarm problems on various (all?) Audis!! Anyone found out how to disable the alarm while locking the doors? Car is 04 A4 Avant 1.9TDI (The DIS indicates that the rear hatch is open even though its totally secure. While this is not of itself a problem the car alarm now triggers on a regular basis hence need to disable while I get it sorted)

I am having a similar problem. My alarm keeps going off randomly. I thought I had stopped it but it just went off. First time for about a month.

The audi booklet with my a3 says if you lock the car with the key and turn it to the left twice in quick succession this locks the car withouth setting the alarm. It's hard to tell if it's worked though.

If anyone reading this has had a similar problem - alarm going off randomly - and had managed to fix it please let me know it's driving me mad!

Hi The fact that the control light for the tailgate is telling you the hatch is open,is probably the reason your alarm is being activated.there is a micro switch in the lock,which is at fault.Whitegoosedown a fault code read will tell you what is activating the alarm
