Title: 2 bleeps when i lock and starting problems help!
Post by: tomkbucks on November 23, 2007, 09:01:54
I got a new plip recently and since then the disco ' bleeps twice ' when i lock it but only SOME TIMES ... I also seem to be having problems with it starting... it just wont turn over and starts ' clicking ' as soon as i put a set of jump leads on it it turns over 1st time..  It does have quite a new battery and starter, this morning when i tried to start it it was reading 11.7 V after a nice quick jump started straight away.. long drive it reads 12.7 could i just be loosing charge over night ?? it getting really annoying

Mine only does this when one of the doors is not closed properly.

But mine is a Td5 and may be different . . . .

Have you checked the switches on the doors?  Or the connections behind them?

have you tried it with locking the doors with the key and see if it looses power over night?

yup did this today... made no difference.. now im not sure what the probelm is, this moring the battery was 11.7V again and it would not start... when i boosted it and got it started it was only showing 12.9 does this mean its the alternator ??? or the battery ??? when i locked it last night the battery was at 12.6V so id does mean some charge has been lost...
