Default alarm problems

Hi,

I have an A3 1.6 (`99 model) and having problems with the alarm.

It has recently just started going off without warning and at completely random intervals. Can anyone help?!!

Many thanks!

were your windows down when it went off? if so, maybe it is the interior motion detector. other than that i can't think of anything. maybe it is a short circuit problem??

Default alarm horn

The horn has it's own battery that losses it's charge when this happens it cuases the alarm to sound. It is mounted in the passenger rear wing to get to it you need to take the side pannel out and the base speaker. Best to confirm this first with diagnostics first
