I'll take a look around the doors and boot and give them a slam before I set off - see if that helps and report back

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all My 996 C4s has randomly and intermittently decided to start emitting a series of beeps at certain speeds whilst driving. There are no consistent speeds it does this but if there was a range it would be from 10mph to 45mph during which it would beep. The beeping is reasonably faint and seems to be coming from the dashboard. It seems to have started since we returned from Europe and switched the readout from Mph to Km back to Mph. I know there is the speed limit warning and I have set this to the highest speed limit. Unfortunatley it hasn't made a difference. Any ideas befire the beeping drives me nuts! Best Joe

POST 2Original post

Have you got something that the car thinks is open e.g. luggage compartment? Mine beeps when setting off on a journey if I have forgotten to close it.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Nick I'll take a look around the doors and boot and give them a slam before I set off - see if that helps and report back

POST 4Original post

If the luggage or engine compartment are open, I think there would be a warning light on the instrument cluster too. It might not be something open but a micro switch or wiring issue causing the car to believe something not properly closed.
