The car is sat with the engine in pieces atm and was fine like that for a week or so, and then all of a sudden the battery drained, so I put the battery on charge, on the car, but disconnected from the car, and after fully Charing the battery, I reconnected it to the car, but with in an hour or so the alarm was going off again. To say the neighbours were impressed was an understatement
Any way, today I took the battery off, charged it and put it on the B5, and it's been fine starting it while running about all day, and the charged battery off of the B5 I put on the B6 and measured the current drain. It's between 2-3 amps, which seems quite a lot to me.
So how to track the fault? I'm thinking locate the fuse box and while someone is keeping an eye on the multi meter, remove one fuse at a time and see which circuit is draining it so quickly.
Any thoughts or/ input much appreciated
