Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • 2006 MK5 Golf GTI - Alarm standard?

    Hi
    Just realised that there are "alarm" buttons on the Driver's B Pillar.
    Is alarm standard on the Golf GTIs?

    How can I test if it works?

    As far as I am aware, the alarm is standard... Best way to test this is by locking the car with the windows down and then reaching into the car, or creating movement in the car... This is how I accidentally found out my PoloGTI came with an alarm as standard!!

      It might just be the switch that enables or disables the anti-tow (tilt) switch IF an alarm is fitted.

        Alarm should be standard, yes, but stuffed if I can get ours to go off even though it supposed to have movement sensors.

          I'd be surprised if it didn't because my bora's got them and it's a fair bit older and cheaper, found out by trying to have a sleep with the doors locked

            Mine goes off if I throw something through the sunroof when the car is locked. The indicators flash but it doesn't make a sound. What's the point then???
