Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone of you guys could help me. I am having a problem with my battery being completely drained in the mornings when i come to start the car. There are no interior light on and also the radio is off. The way i am getting around the problem at the moment is that i am having to connect/disconnect my battery every morning/night.
Here comes the interesting part....
This all started to happen since I went away for holiday and parked the car in a airport carpark, when i came back the batery was completely drained and the keyfob for the central locking has not been working since either - reprogramming is needed, I think. But if i use my key in the driver door, the central locking is slightly tempermental and on most occasions does not seem to be working either. It does work sometimes, so this must be loose connection.
Could this be related?
This is the same problem my close friend has had with his passat, the central locking went and the battery seemed to be getting drained every day. VW supposedly could not find the fault and he had to sell it.
I have tried to search on the internet for similar problems with solutions but have been unsuccessful. Is this a common fault with vw/audis? Can anybody steer me in the right direction to getting this problem solved, it will be much appriciated.
cheer,
