Get a vag com and itll tell you whats setting it off... Hood switch is sort of common (after motion sensors but you disabled them) but its best to just vag it.

Im not sure, if it can pull codes from central locking, you can just try it.

If it's driving you crazy then close the windows or turn off the motion censors...

I think its right in the front, by the driver side of the radiator... You can try shorting those wires together. It might not help though, VAG COM would be the best, but if you want to try it go ahead.

Don't worry I have hundreds of them! I did read it, but is the alarm doing it always? Windows up all doors secure, or only when windows down?

I had my sensors on andtI had one of those Christmas trees that the wind would blow around and set it off...felt retarded when I came to that conclusion.
