Audi Repair: Strange beeping, audi a4 quattro, 2002 audi a4 quattro


Question
On random mornings my 2002 Audi A4 Quattro will beep about 4 times. I typically jump in my car, start it, buckle up and turn on the radio. It comes on somewhere in the mist of all that from the rear of my car. I've heard it could be letting me know that the sensor went off while it was locked overnight and I've heard it could have something to do with the battery or fuel pump. What is the answer?

Answer
Yes it could be a notification that the alarm had been tripped.  Doubt whether it has something to do with the fuel pump, but it could be that your alarm is triggered because of a battery drain.  There could be many reasons for alarm malfunctions I'm afraid, but it is worth checking that the total current draw on the battery when everything is off, is around 50 milliAmps.  let me know,  Jan
