Cherping? Is it a beeping? A Clicking? Constant, or Intermittent?

It sounds more like a cherping mate. It does it about 6 times every time i switch ignition on.

^ Me too  :ashamed: :ashamed:

When you put the key into the ignition you will hear a "wirring" sound from the engine which is the throttle body aligning, and you may hear about 6-8 clicks as the air conditioning vents sort themselves out. As for a "cherping", i have no idea, sorry mate.

Yes everytime i turn ignition on.
Lets call the cherping a rite loud beeping sound then,not coming from the engine but through the speakers in the car.

The last owner had the parrot ck3000 fitted but took out the lcd disply that you answer calls with and left all the wires in could it be anything to do with that?

Its not coming from engine. Its coming from speakers in the car.

But its coming through the speakers of the car....

EDIT: Ahh you beat me to it!

I would say possibly. Can you get a video of it on your phone or something?

I would suspect the wires from the parrot ck3000.

The "bing bing bing bing bing"?

That's the seatbelt reminder/warning noise.

If its coming through the speakers could it be an earth issue?  related to the lose wires from the parrot, are the wires bare? if so they could have moved and be in contact with the metal of the body work?

Or a noise or interference supressor on the stereo, does the power on state of the stereo have any effect on the noise?

Pop stereo out and pull wires from phone kit, 5 min job, will bw that

Agreed. Try putting your seatbelt on before you turn on the ignition! :smiley:

The seatbelt warning should only go off once you are above a certain speed.

Mine gives it about half a dozen beeps, then stops. If I drive off without my belt on the beeping comes back.  :driver:

I just assumed all golfs did this? :surprised:

You can change the seatbelt settings with Vagcom to only "bong once you are over 10mph :happy2:

No, it's the seatbelt "reminder" that bings when you start the car.
The seatbelt warning which is the same noise activates over 10kph.

Either one, or both, can be turned off via VCDS. I keep it on as it tends to annoy passengers and makes them put their belt on.

I hope it was too, :rolleye:

Anyway its not the seat belt sound its much more af a higher pitch sound. Will get a video of it at the weekend to give you all a much better idea.

is your bluetooth enabled on your mobile? it may be the parrot thing trying to connect?

switch your phone off and try again maybe?
Title: Re: This noise is doing my head in now.
Post by: T30GUE on April 10, 2010, 10:14:10 am
Watched your video mate - That's nothing like the seatbelt alarms, or any noise that a golf should make - too high pitched and irritating to be OEM.

I would definately disconnect the parrot from the back of your stereo.

Title: Re: This noise is doing my head in now.
Post by: gti turbo on April 10, 2010, 02:29:01 pm
So we guessing its the parrot bluetooth then.
How do i get stereo out to disconnect the wires?

Its is annoying as hell,that noise happens everytime i switch ignition on.

you have to gently pry away the surrounding trim and then you'll be left with a few screws around the stereo, once undone it will slide out and reveal the connections  :happy2:

...this is the point where i recommend some trim removal tools rather than a screw driver too  :smiley:

Right a little update on the annoying noise.
Took the stereo out and disconnected all the wires and put the radio on back seat,switched the ignition on and the f*cking noise is still there.

Cant understand coz it still coming through the speakers.  :evilgrin: :confused:

Not sure how the Parrot is wired, but my guess is the entire unit needs to be removed as it probably gets it +12V on its own source and won't require the head unit to be installed.

That noise would do my head in as well.

Possibly an aftermarket immobiliser?

if it was anything to do with the parrot surely it would be a squawk [sorry]

I noticed when the noise happens phone comes up on the stereo display.
Also paired my phone up to the parrot bluetooth and when someone rings me it does actualy ring through the speakers,but coz i havent got the lcd display i cant answer the call and speak through the parrot handsfree.

I used to get the same noise with my Octavia vRS when my Parrot kit was playing up!!

It wouldn't do it when the Parrot was working correctly only when it was faulty, I never got to the bottom of the fault before I PX'd the car.

If it was me i'd rip out the kit and bin it  :wink: :wink:

Ive been reading on other forums and there should be a ble box with all wires connected to it.
Where would this be located?

think your fine the noise is a parrot produced fault warning telling you its has a problem with the kit  (this being the display is not attached) i had this exact same thing happen to me with a part ex at my work either totally remove the phone kit or fit the missing part this will sort it
