My car is now beeping at me when I start it?

Just a single beep - from where I don't know? The Sigma Alarm maybe??

Cannot remember what it means - was it a low battery?

Or just the car saying, 'Get out fatty!' ?

 

Should be careful if your car beeps at you when you start it up considering what you do for a living

 

Oh, thanks very much ... I feel better now!!

Whats that smell of marizipan?? And that ticking noise

 

You need a new battery mate, mines doing the same until I can be arsed to get a new one!

 

If you had a Cocklink fitted you'd have been warned about this ages ago....

It's the last resort beep from the ECU and is warning of impending engine failure due to excessive knock, bearing wear due to the use of low quality lubricants, and the inability to follow the **** oil change procedure.

Sell the car quick before it finally goes, take any offer you are given.

 

Sounds like your batterys on the way out M8

 

he wouldnt get more than 4k for it now mind...

 

Now, which battery??

The main car battery or the back-up one in the Sigma unit?

 

Its probably your bull**** alarm going off, does it get louder the closer you get to the dash?!

 

as has been said it sounds like your main battery !!

 

Main battery - happened to me a while ago, chirps as you are starting.

 

thats what you get for buying uk crap

 

mine did the same. new battery time

 

Pete, do the keypad battery test and tell us what result you get from that.
You know, ignition to on, press 8 on keypad, then turn ignition off quickly, and count the flashes of the alarm LED on the dash.
Be interested to know what that says as regards to the battery whilst it is bleeping at you.

 

pmsl...

 

Defo battery. Done the same with my P1, starts with a beep then one day the engine won`t start and the alarm will be beeping mad. Then the neighbours curtains twitch, its never ending!

Cheers all - battery charge up time I guess??

 

New battery more like. Your car is almost 7 years old and I take it you're still running the same batt

 

Oh my goodness.
The arch conserver of all things mechanical, pads, discs, tyres, engines etc, cannot preserve a simple ickle battery.
Mine, September '99, still going strong, even after being left 3 weeks.
We real men know how.

 

It just needs charging - no bother ..... I WILL get more years out of this battery than anyone has had out of a battery on here

 

but offcourse you will ,your battery charger is bound to be better than anyone elses,it must be a uk spec one.smuck

 

MY Battery Charger IS the BEST!!

WHY?? Because I built it myself when I was an apprentice, in 1944 ... it's never let me down and never will

You lot have so much to learn - so much to do - so much to develop

 

i await your repleys with baited breath, you are the all knowing master of all there is to know.hang about while i just slap myself............thats better ,no your just full of ****e

 

you do entertain me

 

shouldnt you have been busy killing Germans?

 

I was stripping down the V2's to develop into todays Tommerhawk cruise Missiles

 

tommerhawks are so yesterday ,come on pete 2007 not 1987

 

You do NOT seriously expect me to discuss current defence material, do you!!??
