johnson Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 just got a 1998 S Reg 1.9 tdi. every now and then i get beep from just behind the clocks, it beeps 10 times in short sucsession. anybody got any ideas what it will be? also i will be running it on 100% home made biodiesel, will let you know how it gets on with it. many thanks Chris Quote
seatkid Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Spurious beeping when starting often is due to low voltage, i.e. battery problems. 5 beeps is saying crankshaft position sensor fault. Don't know what 10 beeps is. If it persists then maybe it's time to invest in a VAGCOM lead. Quote

johnson Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Posted October 15, 2011 Sorry forgot to add - voltage is fine. Quote
seatkid Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 For leads look at some recent threads, some recomendations there. Mostly fleabay I think. Never used a lead myself as never needed one (touch wood) Quote
johnson Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) this only happens the the radio/cd player is on (it got a aftermarket unit fitted) <_< - will pull it out and find out how its been wired in. cheers Edited October 17, 2011 by johnson Quote
