Right.. I just bought a W reg 106 gti. Whenever i set the factory fitted alarm using the key fob, the alarm goes off in approx 20 minutes.

Do any of you know why?? or what the cheapest way to find out why would be..

Thank you for reading even if your not sure why theres a fault.

a common problem with the pug alarm is the internal sensors.
turn them off with the button on the steering column and see if it still goes off.

Right i Picked up my car this morning and i found the alarm button on the steering columb.. when i keep it pushed in with the ignition turned on it either goes solid red or blank on the imobiliser light/alarm light...

do any of you know if it has to be solid for the alarm to be off or blank coz if i lock it with the button when its blank the alarm goes off...????

got the same problem with my gti, its a CNUT!
apart from when my alarm goes off only the hazards flash and no sound?
AND to top it off, the button on the steering column wont push in, only have one key fob, and the battery is dying AND when i lock the door with the key OCCASINALLY the boot and the passenger door locks! DAMN FRENCH!!

How much are you for insurance.
Im 20, been banned for 6months and just bought a gti... Im 1780 for insurance lol

I pulled the wire from the sensors out of the alarms control box.
