Default Well Now

Today my alarm finally started working correctly ( reach through open window it goes off) and over the weekend the trans started to act like every other car on the road. Didn't realise there was abreakin period on the anti-theft! :-o

Default Re: Well Now

How many miles on your allroad?

Interesting point on the alarm. Recently I had parked the car with windows open and alarm armed. Every 5 minutes the alarm went off. I believed it was a hyper sensitive motion detector for inside the car. I disabled the interior motion detector and the frequent set off went away.

You can adjust the sensitivity (either ask the dealer, or use a VAG-COM)

Well until recently you had to hit the car with another car before it would go off!!! I found this out the hard way so I like it this Way>

Default Its an aftermarket scan-tool

URL below. Basically duplicates most of the functionality of the VAG-5051 (or whatever the newer model is called) that the dealer uses to scan the car for errors (plus alter things like the door locking modes, alarm sensititivy, and a myriad of other things).

Its essential if you're a car-maintenance do-it-yourself type ;-)<ul><li><a href="http://www.ross-tech.com/">http://www.ross-tech.com/</a</li></ul>
