Re: Alarm going off
Gedger, on the B series engines the alternator is 48 volt and charges the 48 volt battery in the boot.

Re: Automatic parking brake
Thanks. So to check I understand correctly, the parking brake is only applied automatically when the engine is switched off AND auto-hold is being used, not in all instances of the engine being switched off (as happens on Audi)? That's different from my VW Tiguan then as that also only applied the ...

Re: Car choices on a budget?
I too have an early B4, 21 reg, and at 3 years is still trouble free. There do seem to be issues with the newest B's engine running badly, stopping, and the odd drive belt problem.

Re: solution for jerky braking?
