Fitting New Alarm

(1/9) > >>

Well I have no sound, manage to set my alarm off on purpose but just the indicators flash no actual sound, obviously I want this sorting so will this one work?

Part # - 1K0 951 605 C

As far as I knew there was A/B/C revisions so guessing the C revision is the best? Seams a good price too?

How easy are they to fit? What's there location etc?

Thanks
Simon

not sure mine still works, its been a while since I've tested it... but I know my LED door light stays on again....

anyways... surely you would be best buying new? as something this age will only have a little life left in it??

Yes that one will work. New ones are £90 but they are awkward to get to. I would also recommend new as to do the job twice would be a pain. It's up behind the drivers side wheel arch liner. There is a metal carrier which is rivetted on which has to be drilled out and new rivets fitted afterwards. They are large rivets and they need a large rivet gun. The rivets are 6.4mm and you could do with something like a lazy tong riveter to get them in (unless you are the Hulk).

 The alarm itself is plug and play so that part it simple. :happy2:

Just bought one from Germany for £12, plus a tenner postage I think, Revision D, will just give it a shot, can't really afford to go spending £90 right now when I need my MK6 GTI Steering Wheel :P

Betty02:
Are these the correct rivets?
