I fitted a new battery on my mk4 golf 2ltr gti, &now no alarm??the doors open&lock of remote, but no alarm, I have the alarm code, how can you reset??any help,thanks Adam
No m8, it is the original, iv got the original plastic covered code on spare key, iv got a new switch to be fitted, do you think they could be related?my ignition is really loose when i put key in. Any thoughts? Ta Adam
plastic thing sounds like the SKC code for the immobiliser? when you say no alarm, what exactly do you mean? ive had battery off our bora several times didnt affect anything
When i bought the car, the alarm worked, made a noise. The little light next to the lock on door still flashes, but no alarm.
ah the arm/disarm chirp is a feature you can enable with vagcom, doesnt affect the alarm. do your indicators flash? thats another feature you can switch on and off as well. to test the alarm get inside the car and lock yourself in. after a while do a little dance see if the interior motoring picks you up and sets it off
Thanks for the advice, il let you know what happens, no they dont now?used to, iv a feeling the ignition switch is knackered, as i said my key is really lose, compared to a friends, &the starter problems,still got that intermittent whirring noise,gutted, you think the switch will be good place to start?if i plug new switch in, will I be able to use screwdriver to start it, with key in barrel to keep steering lock off?ta m8
Right just did your test, the indicators do flash,got in car, locked it then tried to open the doors &shook the car, but funny thing, when I put steering lock on, then put key in to unlock it, just for a second the alarm came on !!!got to be switch?&ignition barrel?your thoughts please,.& could I use it by using screwdriver to start,ta adam
well worth doing anyway, you can plug it to the loom and turn with a screwdriver as you say to check it before you replace it. the procedure is pretty simple I put the details in your other thread
