Hi all

Sorry but can any one help me I have got up this morning and the battery is nearly flat again

I don't know why it is doing this the battery is new as the other had gone

And I have sorted the problem that I had earlier with the stereo taking power.

The only problem that I still have is this clicking noise that comes from the passenger foot well but can't ding any thing.

It starts to click after you have turn the engine off and the car has been sat for a while. If I press the alarm sensor button next the driver seat it does stop then starts again five to ten minutes later.

Any help would be fab

do you have electric adjusting seats ?

Does the alarm actually work, its possible for a duff alarm siren to cause a persistent current drain if the leaked battery bridges a circuit.

No to the seats

And ye the alarm works

I've noticed that it drains when I fully arm the car when I double press the alarm it doesn't seem to do drain the battery

Just a quick question dose the octavia have two alarms the horn and a siren under the wheel arch if so should he alarm beep when being armed and disarmed

As mine doesn't and only the horn sounds when the alarm goes off

Yes it has two horns.

The locking/unlocking beeps are not enabled by default generally. If you have maxidot you can turn them on, otherwise you need VCDS.

So would that is what is clicking and causing the batery drain

Is the alternator charging de battery properly

Have you had the car scanned for fault codes?

Next step is a scan for fault codes. It could be the alarm playing up, especially as you say that when you disable the internal sensors it stops the battery going flat.

 

The ticking you are hearing could be that something has set the alarm off, and the ticking is the alarm working but remaining silent.

 

VCDS or a dealer can scan the alarm module to determine what is going on.

If the internal siren battery is dead, it will draw a continuous current from the car battery.
