alarm

[theitalian3]

i lock my car, almost exactly ten seconds later it goes off

i check all my doors and windows and shut properly, lock it again, same thing happens

it won't stop doing it, absolutely no reason for it

any suggestions?

cheers

Usually take 30 secs to set itself, so I'm finding it odd that it goes off after 10 secs?! Even locking myself inside my S3, and waving about, still takes a good 30secs or so before anything will go off.

definately 10 or 11 seconds everytime, i just timed it there

Shot in the dark: Battery dropping below a certain level?

maybe its just bad luck?

my A3 T is on 141k now, and its still perfect in just about every way.......

 

[theitalian3]

to be fair, i shouldn't really complain, this is the first real problem iv had with it lol, maybe exaggerating a bit

anyway, problem has just randomly gone away, car now locks and alarms fine, but its still going on autotrader this week lol

cheers for the help everyone who replied

Is it better when it is warm outside?

 

[theitalian3]

but having said that, this is the first time iv ever had this problem, and it only lasted a few hours before disappearing
