Hi guys, hope you’re all well.
I was wondering if anyone can help with a battery drain issue I have been having for the last two weeks.
Recently purchased a 2005 5 door gti. Seller fitted a new battery prior to collection, two days later the vehicle was flat. Numerous days of jump starting, no luck drying straight away.
I then removed the battery and charged this 100%, to which it died again the following day.
I then had the vehicle looked at as there was clearly a drain but this could not be resolved.
In the last few days, I removed the MFD2 sat Nav the vehicle came with and replaced it with a normal mk5 CD player, the car then died again the following day.
As of Wednesday this week, I stripped the CD player out and left no stereo in the vehicle at all. The car has been fine in the last 2 days and has fired up every single time.
What can be causing this drain as connecting both head units still drain the battery.
I didn’t think a new gateway module would be required if the original head units are draining the battery and I haven’t fitted an aftermarket system?
Any help would be really appreciated
Cheers
