Has anyone come across the error code 01403 in relation to a faulty alarm on an A2?
I had a track rod end and poly V-Belt replaced a few weeks back on my A2 TDi and since then the alarm has been playing up and going off sporadically (appreciate that this maybe just a coincidence). The first garage I took the car to told me that my alarm was sounding because the car had been elevated when the track rod end was being replaced and the car thought it was being stolen. They re-set the alarm system and suggested that this would do the trick but a few weeks later the problem returned. I have since taken the car into a VAG specialist and apparently the error code 01403 or Rear Break Glass Sensors is the issue with the alarm. However, the garage also mentioned that when they contacted VAG to find out about a replacement rear break glass sensor, such a part doesn't appear to exist! They are looking into this in detail at the moment but I just wanted to check whether anyone here has come across error code 01403 and knows anything about rectifying this problem?
Any assistance much appreciated as the alarm is bl**dy annoying at the moment and I am told there is no way to disable it....incidentally, the interior switch next to the fuel cap release button which disables the interior alarm sensor also appears to be faulty at the moment if that adds anything to the diagnosis.
Thanks
