Red face 6 beeps

hi boys and girls,i have owned my octavia vrs mk1 for just over 2 weeks now,when i first put the ignition on there is 6 beeps and was just wondering if this is normal as after the car is started there are no warning lights on and the car runs perfect.

well when i say perfect the fan belt has started to slip as it is making a loud screeching noise for around 5 seconds when i start it,is this common? does anybody know if they are self adjusting or not and how expensive a new one is?

thanks for taking the time to read this.

The six beeps are the seat belt warning. Clunk click before you start and they'll go away.

6 beeps = put your seatbelt on? Try starting the car once you have put your seatbelt on and see if that makes any difference.

The alternator belt has a tensioner unit so it should sort itself out, but maybe your belt needs changing?

As already said, the aux drive has an automatic tensioner, but the tensioner has been known to fail. DAMHIKT!!
