My alarm is going off intermittantly and it is driving me mad!
The latest occurances were at 2350 yesterday and 0550 this morning. Woken on both occassions
. These happened after MB changed the internal sensor on 29 December.
The full history. Car is now 5 months old. The alarm problem started end November/early December. It has tended to occur after being stood locked for a while, but on two occassions it's occured as I was walking from the car, having just locked it. It has occured in a garage and outside on the drive. It does seem to attracted to cold and/or temperature change - it started during the bad weather and seems to have occured most when the temperature is dropping. For example - no problems until last night since 29th, but last night was the first frost for a while and the alarm went off.
When reported to MB as a warranty they said there were no fault codes in STAR. I came home, locked the car and the alarm went off as I opened the front door! They then said the next step was to change the internal sensor, which they did on 29th.
Has anyone any ideas? Is this a common fault? where should I be directing the MB service staff? Any thoughts or ideas welcome - thanks in anticipation.
