Any advice

[macattax]

I am getting an fault error on vag com for the alarm.

01134 - Alarm Horn (H12)
49-00 - No Communications

Does anyone know if this is due to the actual siren not working anymore or if its something else?
I read on vag forum that somone else had the same problem and he was advised to replace his siren.
But there was no feedback after that to tell if he fixed the problem.
Hopefully somone on here will have had some experience of this.

That may have been me. Had that problem some time ago but have never got around to fixing it.
Basically I removed the siren in the boot and opened it up. The internal battery had leaked and the unit was knackererd.
All it means is there is no noise - the lights still flash and immobilier works.
I need to get it fixed as soon as I locate somewhere to get a replacement...

Did you have the same fault code on vag-com when you ran the scan?
I will be getting a m8 who works in a garage near a breakers yard to see if he can source a new siren for me.
I hope that is all that is needed!
