Re: Annoying Problem

I had the same issue. It turned out to be the hood sensor.
Nothing special to do, except to get it replaced

Re: Annoying Problem

sticky hood sensor is my bet.

Re: Annoying Problem

VAG COM should tell you which switch is triggering the alarm.
GTI best guess rear hatch switch or radio not pushed in all the way.

oh by the way the radio and front hood switch are on the same circuit i believe.

okkk.... the other day my alarm kept randomly going off on my 03 GTI. then went away.. then the "open door" sign kept blinking on and off and by now it stays on all the times .... all my doors are closed (or i think so anyway) and im guessing this is the reason for my alarm going off as well... but i noticed the light goes away for a while if i open and shut the trunk.... and it keeps making these clicking sounds too whenever the lights comes on (sounds like the noise that your auto locks will make when you try to lock the doors while they are already locked) but i cant seem to figure out where the noise is coming from....

anywhooooo.... i cant even lock my car b/c the alarm starts going off ... i leave my hood popped that does the trick

but ya... anybody ever experience a problem like this ????
i remember reading something on these lines somewhere hmmmm

waiting for feedback!
cheers!
