Hi peeps,
just started to hear 4 beeps coming from the rear of my 2k A4 but only when
i start up in the morning and engage reverse? never heard this before, had
the car for 2years now. anyone got any ideas as to what this might be?
Thanks.

Hmmmmm. Is it equipped with Parktronic? If it is, there will be four
sensors ( circles ) on your rear bumpe. When you engage reverse gear,
there should be a "beep" letting you know the system is working. If
you are near something (inside a garage) you may hear the sensor going
off as you back up. My RS6 has Parktronic and beeps a couple of times
until the rear has cleared the door in my garage.

I didn't think too much of the system when I first got my RS6, but
this old man has become a fan of it.

Is it the alarm playing up? Mine used to beep like that each time I
started my A3. I got the alarm replaced under warranty.
