Two weird problem cummulated together today, after going thru 3 weeks and
~$1300 in routine maintenance to my car... 90K service, tires, front brakes
I was hoping I wouldn't be opening the wallet for a while, guess I didn't
knock on wood.
First issue - last night my climate control lights went off, I played with
the fan speed settings and they came back... same thing this morning.... and
it kinda flickered and went totally dead..
Then I noticed my alarm "beep" came back - it hasnt come on since around
November... coincidentally the same day I installed a VW CD player... The CD
player works fine still, but after two uses of the locks the beep
disapeared... i'm thinking while cleaning my car today I loosened up the
trunk button, as it was my trunk that caused the sound to not come on a few
times before the CD player install....
Anyhow, kinda disapointed, I'm guessing I need to remove my radio to get
behind to the climate control bulbs/wires.... ? This should be a cheap and
easy fix right? |

It's very straightforward, the CD player was a VW in-dash add in unit, so it
plugged right into my VW radio... It was an really cold day and I had some
sporadic issues with the alarm beep before that, I think it was coincidence,
it seems to be working more and more now - honestly I don't even like the
noise, i'd rather hear my locks go down to ensure they are functioning.

Rob,
The climate control is EASILY fixed!
Put the fan speed on #2, and with a pair of plyers, GENTLY pull the knob
off. Now, use a piece of hose to pull the bulb out. Go down to VW and get a
new one...plug it in and problem solved!
As for the beeping...
Your driver side door latch might be acting up...I have seen it happen
before, and based on the fact that your Golf is an early A4, the fact that
it hasn't failed yet is surprising. I wouldn't worry about it, if the red
light is blinking, the alarm is armed.

You can disable the beep when you lock the doors....it's just a matter of
changing the coding for the alarm system...I did it with our Beetle...it
just got annoying...
