I read somewhere on the internet that it will beep 3 times if all checks are performed ok. If I turn the ignition key and let all the lights go out before starting mine (04 TD5) I always here 3 beeps. I sometimes here 2 beeps if I'm in a hurry, and if I go without letting all the lights disappear then it won't beep.
So it's that, or it's broken and it's trying to tell me something.

Don't D2 owners ever read their Owners Handook because if you did you would find this.
"Three warnings may also be heard during engine start-up as part of the ABS system self-checks. This is normal unless the ABS warning light stays illuminated after the engine is running."
There's as also a bit more info on AUDIBLE WARNINGS in the Handbook and also on faulty ABS.

I've read mine but must have missed the 3 chimes bit so did the search on here instead - far quicker
anyhow 3 chimes is normal as is the clunky noise under the brake pedal, which I couldn't find in the manual either; reckon mines got pages missing :bounce:

So its been a while since the last post but thought id share my experience.
The 3 chimes happen everytime i start up my 04 TD5 along with a noise from the brake pedal. If the pedal is under pressure you will feel a cranky resistance for no more than a split second.
From what i have read on forums this is the ABS kicking in and if the 3 chimes are not accompanied with a warning lamp there is nothing to worry about.
Also has OBD2 plugged it and no codes popping up!
