Alarming Xantia ! - John Farmer
The alarm on my year 2000 Xantia 2.0XSi keeps going off on very cold weather. It seem to be down to the ultrasonic sensors because it doesn't happen when i disable them. Citroen dealer has replaced sensors twice and claims to have replaced central control unit too, but it still happens. Typical scenario is, lock car after use at 17:30, weather turns cold (2 deg C or less), alarm goes off about 03:00 next morning. Time varies with temperature (colder = quicker). Run out of ideas. Has anyone else experienced this ??

My XM has the same factory fitted alarm and here in east Germany it can reach -30c and my alarm has never gone off so I suggest there is another problem probably due to cold air within the car causing a draught .Try shutting all the air intakes at night normally cures it.
