Just a bit of a query really, my alarm siren works perfectly fine, makes sound and everything LOL

Since i have owned the car, i have always had to lock the car with the key in the door and never locked the car from the keyfob.

I can unlock the car on the keyfob fine.

Whenever i lock the car on the keyfob i give it maybe a minute before the alarm makes itself heard!
It doesnt always do this, i have locked it on keyfob a few times in my 1.5year ownership where it locked and stayed quiet.

What is the likely cause of this? Faulty ultrasonic sensors? They look fine to me...i dont understand how they could be damaged.

Just wondering really if there is anything i can do to sort it? Maybe they need a clean? Unsure

I would probably say yes, more than likely fault ultrasonic sensors...

Have you tried turning them off? Im sure someone else will tell you how, using the button on the right of the steering column.

No i always thought once you disabled them they stayed in that state until you re-enabled them?

Cheers

its very easy to replace them, get the phase 2 ones from pug(part numbers on here) and remove the old ones, cut the wires and solder the new ones in, heatshrink them and nobody will ever know, not that the wiring is seen anyway as its behind the pillar trim.
i did mine a while back now, its been perfect since
