Re: Battery is dead alarm goes off when jumping it
The battery should be removed and charged, not jumped. If you are a AAA member, they will do it for you. If not, join AAA for $35 and the next day call them for the free service.

This is a real common problem. You have an alarm, however if it goes off it may keep going untill your battery is dead. No big problem, you just need to either jump your battery with another car or hook up a battery charger to the battery. Easy fix.
ALL VW need an alarm/immobilser reset after battery is changed/goes flat.key in boot or drivers door,if you dont have the book get back (so i can get 4stars/feedback).
Basically that battery is completely dead so when you try to jump it it turns the alarm back on. U gotta buy a new battery and when you install it immediately hit the disarm button and you should be ok. If it doesnt turn off you may want somebody with you to help putting the car in the on postion as soon as you connect the battery to turn off the alarm. Also try putting the key in the door and manually unlock the door with the key to disarm the battery
Is the alarm factory fitted, cheap, or a top of the range.
the factory alarm you can pull the cable of the horn untill you get the car started.
there are some alarms that go off when there is a voltage change, and some will keep going for a couple of minutes if the battery is dead flat untill there is power to equilze the power abit,
and some alarms have a key over ride in the siren.
if its a cheap alarm take the battery of and charge it,(the alarm will cut out as soon as the battery is disconnected.
~dont jump start from a dead flat battery, as it can cause a lot more problems with the electrics, leave another car running with the jump leads on for at least 5 min first.~
