AntiTheft Alarm Replacement Posted by Brianatl [Email] (#1832) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Brianatl) on Sat, 6 Jun 2015 11:19:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Took to work the '02 2.3t (now at 143k) my college daughter uses as I like to drive it when she makes it home from out of state to confirm its drivability. Heard a couple random alarm chirps while it was parked at work. Still no "service theft alarm" message and all is quiet the next day. Next evening after dark the alarm starts wailing out in the driveway so I pulled its fuse and right away ordered a BBA re-manufactured unit. I went through this with my other '02 2.3t when its alarm went bad at 88k in 2011. Daughter's 2.3t had the alarm module replaced first time by dealer in 2006. Job took about an hour this morning - all is good and daughter is relieved as lack of AC with fuse out is often not fun in Atlanta in June. Owner's manual states units are good for about 10 years. Both cars now have lifetime alarm module warranties per BBA which will be a relief in a few years when it's time to service the other car's unit.
