Is there a procedure to test the alarm?
Ive set the alarm with the key fob, waited until the red led flashes in the door card, then manually unlock the door with the key thinking that would set off the alarm, but nothing - no sound or flashing hazards
Is there another way of testing it?

Do you have an interior sensor on the roof lining, or any buttons in the drivers side pillar behind the seat?
Is your car an import? They usually don't have an alarm.
Sirens often fail, but no flashing indicators means it is not activating.
If you have VCDS you can see if it is activated and has issues.

What do the buttons look like on the B pillar? And where abouts on the B pillar are they?
Don't think it's an import, I'm only the second owner and I believe the previous guy got it from VW in Wembley.

I've also looked into the service book and it would appear that I do in fact have an import! It looks like the car has made it way to the UK via Dubai
Should this be a concern??
