2002 VW golf Alarm problem

    Hello, here is a post I posted a while back


    "Hello,

    I have a 2002 VW Golf. 1.6 Petrol, manual gearbox
    It has a Gemini car alarm system that seems to have been installed by ICE secuiry systems
    There is something weird and really annoying happening with the alarm, it just keeps going off randomly. I can be sitting in my house with no one around and then all of a sudden the car alarm goes off without anybody or anything touching it, this morning , it has come to a head, I was in bed and it went off about 5 times in a row - its seriously doing my head in at this stage.

    I think it may stem from this issue with the central locking. ; When I press the remote central locking button on the key fob to open the doors, the car **normally** should make 3 audible beeps to indicate that doors have opened.


    However, lately, when I press this button to remotely open the doors with the key fob, the car *sometimes* is making 5 audible beeps ( and not 3 as normal )



    I noticed that sometimes when I open the doors as above and get in the car that there is a light flashing inside the car. This light is located on the very front of the right dashboard up against window, I think its supposed to symoblise the alram being on - but I dont think this should be flashing when ive actually opened the doors and sitting inside the car

    I also notice that when I open the driver door that the open door symbol is not coming up on the dash display, but when I open the 3 other doors, the open door symbol appears on the dash dislpay, so maybe this has something to do with the problem too

    Im not too au fait with the working of a car alarm, but Im presuming that the central locking and the car alram are linked and intertwined

    Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this annoying problem ?"






    After putting up that post, I got a number off helpful replies which asked me to check the boot lid to see if water lodging etc. etc. I tried this but made a ba**s of it ( boot lid not fitting in correctly now ) so I dont want to do it the DIY route

    I ended up bringing it the other day to the alarm manafacturer and they done something with the ultra sonic sensor and charged me 125 euro to do so, they said this may or may not resolve the problem, but alas the problem is still there and the bloody alarm is still going off

    Ive asked a few lads I know is there anyone that could resolve this for me and they all shake their heads saying that you wont get anyone to look at a problem like I have i.e. trying to find someone to have to go to the hassle of tracing wires, taking boot lids off, checking for loose connections etc.

    Im just wondering, is there anyone on here that knows a garage, auto electrical mechanic, handy man that could sort this kind of a problem out for me ?

    Im already 125 euro down and problem not fixed



    Sorry for long post

    im based in Dublin
