Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi. I get a double beep on the horn when I lock the car. The car locks ok, I just get the rather annoying beep as well. Addspeed ran a diagnostic and said there is an intermittent fault on the passenger door lock. Anyone have any ideas on fixing this, DIY or otherwise? Also, I had a check engine light that appeared and went. Addspeed indicated that a catalyst sensor showed up on the diagnostic. Any thoughts on this also? Cheers one and all.

POST 2Original post

A double-beep indicates a permanent fault in the alarm system. If the door lock switch assemby has been diagnosed as the problem then it will need to be changed. You can't replace the offending microswitch within the assembly. I seem to recall the driver's side assembly cost me about £125, plus fitting. You have to remove the door lining. Fairly straightforward-ish. If you want to have a go yourself, I could email you the instructions. The lambda sensors are a fairly common fault - about £65 plus fitting. A relatively easy DIY, if you know which one it is. Again, I could dig out the instructions.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard. I'll probably go back to Addspeed and compare their prices. I'm not into car DIY if I can help it!
