I sadly ended up selling the car. I had it looked at again by another electrician and he was as confused as I was by everything. Now own a 2018 VW Passat.

Perfect thank you. I will give it a go. Any fuses most likely to cause it? Or should I just do them all

Perfect I will have a look. Mine is even cheaper haha, only does 1A - 400A. So need a better one. What SHOULD it be drawing. What is an expected value.

I have a clamp ammeter, but I don't think it is sensitive enough (only goes down to 1amp). Any recommendations on one to buy?

Yes it does

No engine start stop

Where should I connect the multimeter? Between the battery terminal and the cable? Thank you

Hi all, I have been experiencing a lot of battery drain issues with my car. Only a few days of not being used and it's dead. Or even being used everyday (not driven particularly far) it still managed to die. I drove it for 2 hours yesterday to FULLY charge the battery (battery is new, replaced in July when the issues where first noticed). I measured the voltage with my multimeter. 12.06v as of 3pm yesterday. This morning (measured at 11:15) the voltage has already dropped to 11.75v. That CANNOT be normal. I have a black box fitted to the car but I can't imagine that is causing that much draw. What is causing this!!! I took the car into a garage about a month ago to have it looked at. They replaced the passenger door loom as the wiring was damaged, I also had the radio loom wiring repaired as I noticed that it was damaged when I replaced the head unit. This has had no effect as you can see. The head unit isnt "coded" to the car? Could that be part of the issue? What other steps can I take to work this out??? The heated seats in the car haven't worked since I got it, so I removed the heated seat fuses to see if those circuits were the issue, still draining. I can't trust my car AT ALL, because it just might not start. Please help me as this has been 6 months of pain, and I've already spent almost £700 on electrical fixes that haven't done ANYTHING. Specifics of the car. Skoda Superb MKII Hatchback. 2012 Elegance model. 2.0 TDI 140bhp

No, I have the cover. just wasnt sure if something should be under it

So it should be empty like that?

What is this for and should there be something inside it? Never noticed it before. Just unsure.

Yes I have the V17 disc

You should be able to find the SW online, but I don't think you can update yours any further anyway. As far as maps and cameras go you need a disc, I have one but ended up not needing it as mine was already up to date. It requires a dual layer DVD but I may be able to send you an ISO file, or you can buy them cheap online.

Was going to do that. Also update the maps to V17. Dont know if you know where I can get the ISO before I spend money on a disk.
