Bonging noise when opening door
Discussion
I've noticed over the last few days that when I open the door of my V8V i get a warning bong type of noise.
I pretty certain this is a new occurance as I don't recollect it making this noise before.
Does anybody elses V8V do this?
Does anyone have an idea what this could be and how to stop it?
Thanks
John

No it's a manual.
Today I have a low battery warning message but I'm certain the noise was there a few days ago before the Low battery warning. Battery is now on charge so will see if it is related to this but I suspect not.
The car was in the dealers having some work finished and this noise ties in with the car being returned to me. I've called the dealer to ask what this could be, waiting on a call back.

Maybe the dealer updated your software so you are now being told about something which you weren't before ? Or you've now got a default setting instead of a custom one ?V8 BYF said:
I have noticed the same thing happening to my car too - I cannot find any pattern to it
And its not because I have left the lights on!
For me this is good news;)And its not because I have left the lights on!
On mine i have established the following
1. the noise is not present if the passenger door is opened.
2. if the passenger door is opened and then the driver's door the noise isn't present.
3. if the driver's door is opened and it "bongs", it will not bong again if the door is opened again within a set time period.
4. I don't know how long the time period (certainly more than 5mins) before the car resets itself and will "bong" again when the door is opened.
V8 BYF Have you recently had your coolant stat changed?

Update for anyone that is interested.
I've been away for a few days and left the car locked in my garage.
I unlocked it this morning and I didn't get the bonging noise when opening the door.
Further investigation revealed that
If the car has been locked for a period of time and then unlocked I don't get the bonging noise when opening the door
If the car is left unlocked for a period of time I do get the bonging noise when opening the door
Would be interested to know if this is the case with other PH'ers
Cheers
