d3 alarm siren

[carmel120]

hi I have a fault code for the alarm siren so I had a look under the bonnet and the siren is missing and I don't see the connecter plug does anybody no where the wiring connecter comes from.

I've replaced my siren twice, I assume you are looking at the passenger side under the scuttle panels right up against the bulkhead?.

ah ok found it I was looking at the drivers side.Whats the best way to remove the siren does the expansion bottle just lift up when I remove the two 10mm bolts.

Undo the bolts and lift out, I dont have anything close by the siren. Clean up the dead leaves etc. from behind it before refitting.

The same part is used pretty much across the Audi Range, just with a different bracket. The one I have now came from an A6 or A4, cannot remember which. There are two different sirens, the later ones tend to be have better longer lasting batteries.

Mine came out of an A4 and cost me a tenner, but as Mannyo says, it seems to have been widely used. The VW ones might be the same, so might be worth a wander round the local scrapyard.
