Why is my car beeping at me??

[themarvel2004]

So, around 7am this morning I was getting dressed and heard a strange noise emanating somewhere from in my house.
Searched around and found it was coming from the garage - from my Golf!!
It was a medium pitch "bong" sound - repeated every 5-6 seconds or so - coming from the car speakers (definitely from the drivers door when I opened it).
No warning lights on the dash, nothing displayed when I turned the ignition on, but the sound did stop. Car started and ran fine and I drove to work.
Car was parked, not locked, all doors shut in my locked garage. No interior lights were on.

Any ideas? Anyone seen (heard!) this before? Or will I need a Vagcom diagnostic?

Thanks!

You haven't got a car, you have a Transformer.

Disconnect battery for a few mins and re connect it, my radio stopped working for no reason, vw dealer had no clue, I had no radio for 2 weeks until i thought disconnect and re connect battery. Bobs your auntie it worked.

So in your case it might help.

Good luck

Radio is working fine though...

Is your blinker stalk flicked to the left or right?

[blutopless2]

your indicator being left on should only sound the warning when your door is open... not all the time.

Realised that over lunch. Otherwise, parkers?

Nah, only does that when the door is open too.

Was the door shut properly the night before?

Everything was shut and off. As I said - only started around 7am. Nothing before then. And stopped once I turned the ignition on.
Spiders perhaps? I have noticed a few cobwebs in some of the nooks around the car (c/o the last owner who lived in the hills)? Time for a bug bomb perhaps...
