Peugoet 306 (1994) Alarm

I`ve bought a 1994 306 xsi 2.0 ltr, the story is the car has an alarm which i
don`t have an remote for.
there is an claxon and presure sensors in the car plus there is an RF
reciever above the mirror and a red light on the steering column.
I don`t know if the alarm came standard with the car?.
I have two keys for the central locking(no buttons on the keys) is there
anyway to check if the alarm works?.

My local dealer wants 30 quid an hour to check!.

Thanks
Bren

 

IIRC the 1994 model came with a factory fitted alarm as standard - the 1995
model certainly did. It isn't operated by RF though but by IR. It should
have a black `receiver` above the rear view mirror at the interior light
switches.

The factory fitted alarm will have ultra-sonic sensors either side of the
windscreen built into the plastic. If it is a 3 door model (weren't they
all then?) the alarm ECU box is inside of the rear wing just before the
door pillar and can be seen by removing the rear inside panel on the
drivers side. A five door model has the box under the drivers seat.

I think it did.

You should have a key with two buttons on it. One large button to operate
locks and deadlocks and a small button to arm the alarm. These key-fobs are
notorious for failing hence the possible reason why you don't have the
proper fob. A new one (user progammable) is around £85 from a Puegeot
dealer 2nd hand fro around £30 on EBay but make sure it is IR and not RF.

A common fault with the alarm if you do get it working is for the
indicators to stick on after they flash when arming or disarming the alarm.
This is caused by a sticing relay in the alarm ECU box. Can be solved by
drilling a very small hole on the top of the affected relay.
