Alarm looks to be installed well as it was already in the car when i purchased it.
Running two amps but they have been in there a while before the issues started.
Funnily enough the alarm hasn't played up for the last couple of days....no doutb it will start again when i really don't want it to.

Because a car alarm did not cuase issue's when you bought the car does not mean that it's not the cause.

I have a friend with a corrado over here. He had an alarm fitted to it.
It started causing issue's around 4 months ago. Now the alarm has been in the car for around 3+ years.

Sometimes the unit's fail. His battery kept going flat which was caused by the alarm.

Hopefully this helps and points you in the right direction.

Hi,

My GF's golf has been doing the same thing. I definitely thought it was a relay by the sound it was making (tika tika tika). Sometimes the power windows wouldnt work properly and the doors would unlock and lock themselves without pressing the remote.

We took it to the VW mechanic on Anzac Parade and they did some diagnostic testing that didn't really show anything. They replaced the most likely relay and it didnt solve the problem.

They suggested it could be the central locking unit which would be about $500 to replace.

I would be keen to hear if anyone else has the same problem and has had any luck with fixing it. It's an incredibly annoying sound and is getting more regular.

Cheers
