Fitting New Alarm
« on: November 07, 2011, 03:45:18 pm »
Well I have no sound, manage to set my alarm off on purpose but just the indicators flash no actual sound, obviously I want this sorting so will this one work?

Part # - 1K0 951 605 C

Link - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alarm-Siren-1K0-951-605-C-/320765662347?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4aaf1f948b

As far as I knew there was A/B/C revisions so guessing the C revision is the best? Seams a good price too?

How easy are they to fit? What's there location etc?

Thanks
Simon

Yes that one will work. New ones are £90 but they are awkward to get to. I would also recommend new as to do the job twice would be a pain. It's up behind the drivers side wheel arch liner. There is a metal carrier which is rivetted on which has to be drilled out and new rivets fitted afterwards. They are large rivets and they need a large rivet gun. The rivets are 6.4mm and you could do with something like a lazy tong riveter to get them in (unless you are the Hulk).

 The alarm itself is plug and play so that part it simple. :happy2:

Just bought one from Germany for £12, plus a tenner postage I think, Revision D, will just give it a shot, can't really afford to go spending £90 right now when I need my MK6 GTI Steering Wheel :P

Right chaps, alarm arrived today. Didn't realise how tiny it was!! 6" max if that!

Now I have my drill ready and rivet gun and rivets.

How easy is removing the inner liner? Wheel off and undo some bolts? Is it easy from there? Don't want to drill out the wrong bloody box lol!

Thanks!

Yep, wheel off, remove some torx (T25?) screws and you'll see the box. Drill out the rivets and it's all pretty self explanatory from there  :happy2:

You'll need a spanner, maybe 13mm from memory, to bolt the siren to the box.

Swapped them over this weekend with the new alarm and still doesn't bloody work!!

Any more ideas/suggestions? I've checked the interior fuse box and all the fuses are fine?

Any help would be appreciated!

Can you scan it?

New siren is also gubbed or incompatible?

Sorry, thought you mentioned you got a D to replace C (should ultimately be the same).

There is an option in VCDS to untick 'Siren installed' - has your siren ever worked? It could be the case a previous owner disabled it rather than replace it. A scan would let you test it and see if it's getting power and so on.

Looks like I will need to get it scanned then :( I don't have VCDS so will need to pay to get it done!

Owned the car 11 months today and in them 11 months it's never worked, I never checked it really.

I bought the D version from Germany then a local C version came up so got that too (Germany one still hasn't arrived)

VCDS time then :(

Did you get this working as I have the same problem... Replaced the alarm siren to a 1K0 951 605C but it does not work. Opened my old alarm up and yes the batteries leaked acid but why doesnt the new one work??? Is it it faulty too?
