Yet another flat battery...

Featured Replies

Afternoon all,

 

I've been working away a lot recently so haven't been using the car much, a week abroad followed by a week at home for the last 5 weeks. Every time I've come back  the battery has had enough charge to open the doors and liminate the dash but not enough to turn the engine over.  I've been through the common causes but so far no improvement.  The battery is an 18 month old optima yellow top that so far has checked out well, charging system has also checked out well.  glove box light & boot lights have been removed & brake switch has been replaced. 

 

I've read a lot about the CAN gateway not going to sleep if the radio has been upgraded (i upgraded to a columbus about 2 years ago).  Would someone be good enough to cast an eye over my VCDS scan and let me know if they spot any part number or coding issues please...

 

Many thanks

 

Dave

Your gateway is fine. That wouldn't be the problem.

Good stuff thank you.  I've read a lot about mis-coded items that can cause battery drain issues, is there anything I should be looking out for?

Nothing there is miscoded by the look of things. It could still be the Columbus, but you'll need to be into measuring current draw and pulling fuses etc. to determine what (if anything) is causing a drain.

Ok thanks.  Yes thats where I'll be heading next, time to dig out the test equipment...

 

 

Does your car smell faintly mouldy at all?

 

Not sure of relevancy to the mk2, but on my mk1 I recently noted water ingress down through my bonnet release cable. This ended up leaking into my lightswitch which shorted it out.

You could see a really faint bulb glow/flicker but the lights were not registering as on most of the time. 

You could try connecting a solar charger as the battery will drain over time (unless you disconnected it) by the alarm etc.

 

I use one for similar reasons and have not failed to start the car as yet. I give it an external full charge if i know freezing weather is likely.
