Alarm problems

(1/2) > >>

stealthwolf:
Not sure why it's happened so suddenly or whether something else has triggered it off.

Twice now the alarm has suddenly gone off. Both times were on a Friday whilst I was queuing at the chippy. Each time the car has been parked in exactly the same spot and has gone off within 2-3 mins of parking there.

Each time, I've noticed a huge-ass lorry go past the car. No damage to the car or anything but did wonder whether certain frequency vibrations could set it off.

I have parked at the same spot at least once a month for the last five months without issue, so don't know why it's happened now.

Anyone had similar issues?

cal tdi:
I live to the side of a 90 degree corner in my village on which lorries regularly dont both to drop a few cogs when going round resulting in them drowning with that deep bassy noise, TDI drivers know the sound  :signLOL:
but anyway iv know this to set a car alarm off before so that may be your answer

hope this helped

stealthwolf:
Yeah thought it was the heavy lorries but didn't know if anyone else had issues.

NotNormal:
Check via vagcom, it'll give you the trigger that set your alarm off.
I have just turned down my interior monitor to 75% as it kept triggering my alarm for no reason, so far so good.

Worth just having it looked at

stealthwolf:
Will do. It's only happened twice, so I'm not overly concerned about it. Might get dealers to have a stab when it goes in for servicing.
