Hi,I did get the old one tested and it was great so they recommended that I put a new one on seeing as it was old and winter is coming so I opted for the Varta AGM,but today the issue is still carrying on,like I have said I tried a couple of new genuine latches but sent them back when they didn't resolve the issue,I have ended pulling my hair out and not locking it when I'm in meetings etc as it's now beyond a joke,I'm.mot sure where to go from here.

So guys,I just got a new battery on,and early days still but so far no alarm going off and no warning on the dash....but I will update if it does come back

It's 14 years old lol

Everything looks fine,even the wiring from it to the connector,sounds crazy but would a poor battery cause an issue like this? another thing is once I start to drive it goes off but sometimes it will flash up a couple of times whilst driving then just go away.

Good evening fellow A6 owners I am looking for some help,I have a 2010 model and everything is excellent apart from recently I've been having issues with the alarm and the bonnet open notification,I have changed the latch (with sensor) and still it's persisted so I ended up unplugging the sensor near the headlight and it went off for a few days but now it is back... It seems like no matter what I try I keep getting this intermittent fault and the alarm goes off in the night and day,I'm starting to wonder if there is another sensor on the bonnet although I can't see one anywhere? obviously there aren't any fault codes but another thing is,when the "bonnet open" notification is on the dash,you can't use the wipers so I may become a big issue in the winter.....can anyone help??
