Hello
:1zhelp:
Please can somebody help me??
I have the a 2002 Seat Leon which has a couple of problems which I suspect may be related. The problem came to light a few days ago, firstly the car would not start, it had been stood for approximately 30 mins. I called the breakdown recovery people who diagnosed a failed battery, jump started the car and dvised me to take the car to a garage to get the car checked out which I did immediately. I left the car with them overnight, they did some checks and agreed that the battery had failed. The battery which had failed is only about 8 months old (good quality blue coloured bosch item apparently?). The garage did comment on the sound of a pump somewhere under the rear of the car upon opening the drivers door (not when opening any other doors). This whirring sound can continue from 15 seconds upto 1 hour +. We were led to believe that this was a normal occurence when we bought the car 10 months ago, our local garage believes this is not normal and is probably caused by an air leak somewhere but cannot find this (no faults shown on the diagnostic checks). Is there a likely place where this may occur on the Leon (or any of other similar VAG vehicles) Sorry for rambling on but I need some assistance on this as the car is driving me mad!!!
Cheers
P.s the car always seems to flatten it's battery when in a garage on a ramp being repaired. I.e with the doors unlocked and the key in the ignition to keep the steering free.
