Occassionally I get a double bong when I turn ignition on. No worning lights though. Not low temperature as its about 9 to 10 degrees.

Any ideas please.

Have you tried not using a bong before you drive................ :tumbleweed:

I'll get my coat
 
Could it be that the door is open when you start ? My car has never bonged at me, so I have no idea I'm afraid :(
 
Are you sure you're not listening to the hourly news on the radio? :poke:

Sorry, Nosa stole my original flippant reply!
 
Got 2 beeps this morning when I put the key in the ignition and turned to position 2. No dash lights, just two beeps (not bongs). It's not temp related, it's had oil and inspection 2 less than 6weeks ago.

Any ideas?

It's not consistent. What is my p&j trying to tell me?!?!?!? I haven't cleaned her for 2 weeks, maybe she knows :-s

I vote for a sensor going bad, such as passenger occupancy mat. As good a guess as any?

Why do you say that? Strangley enough the two most recent times its happened the boot has been open but HAS been closed, it could be the sensor is a bit tempermental as 99% of the time its fine.

No issues with the airbag light not going out and I did have the passenger occupancy go bad on the wifes E46 and no 'Bongs' then!

I had the same issue , intermittent bong , it had me baffled . turns out it was me inadvertently pressing the boot button on the key as I was entering the car and the lid popping up .
