Alarm on VW Beetle W Reg 2000, keeps going off for no reason

[Blue-Lightning]

We have a 2000 W Reg 2.0 litre VW Beetle. The alarm has started to go off for no reason, even when the car is in the garage.

Does anybody know what could be causing this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Does it have an interior sensor thing? If it does, turn it off (door pillar on most VAG cars) incase its a fly in there.

Hi J500ANT,

Tried that, thought it had solved the problem, but half an hour later it started to go off again.

I have disarmed the alarm for tonight, so that it wont be upseting the neighbours.

standard vag alarm (or other internal leccy prob) is to check the passenger footwell is dry. comfort ecu is on the floor and gets flooded under various conditions - try a search on scuttle/pollen filter.
