Problems with the alarm system of a 2008 Citroen C6: Suspected fault with the tilt sensor
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2008 Citroen C6 owner is experiencing issues with the car's alarm system, suspecting a fault with the tilt sensor. A similar problem was noted in a Citroen C5, where the issue was traced to the alarm system sensors, costing 250 euros to fix. Cold weather might exacerbate the problem, and checking for water ingress in sensor plugs is suggested as a potential solution. Visiting a garage for a thorough check is recommended to resolve the issue.

Thanks for the quick reply. My Citroen now has a proud 17,4004 KM on the clock. The last inspection was about six months ago. The problems with the alarm system came on quite suddenly. Otherwise everything is actually great. Just this annoying alarm system. Well, if it costs around 250 euros, I'll probably have to visit the garage. See you then!

Hey, cool that you replied so quickly. Well, with my old C5, the alarm system mainly caused problems when it was cold. I'm guessing it could be similar for you, especially if you say it came on suddenly. The cost of the repair is really okay when you think about the other costs you could incur if the car is parked somewhere wrong and the alarm system is acting up, right? But be sure to take it to the garage and have it checked. If you're lucky, they might even be able to read something out and help you quickly. Let us know how it goes, okay? See you then and have a good trip!

That's right, it was quite cold when the alarm system first went off. So your assumption could be correct. I also think it's worth the 250 euros if it means I don't have any more problems and I'm no longer constantly annoyed by that shrill siren, hehe. I'll take your advice and visit the garage. As soon as I know anything new, I'll let you know. Thanks for your help, really cool of you. See you soon and have a safe journey!

Hello everyone, Have you ever checked the plugs on your sensors to see if they have any water ingress? This can often lead to a problem even though the sensors are good. Greetings Daniel

Hi, I happened to have a similar problem with my 2006 Citroen C5. I am not a car expert, but have some experience with car problems. I took my car to the garage. After a thorough examination, it turned out that the fault was actually in the sensors for the alarm system. The garage fixed the whole thing for 250 euros. Can you perhaps give me a few more details about your car and the problem? Perhaps I can then help you more specifically. Best regards!
