I have a 66 plate S3, yesterday I took my car to a VCDS ( fellow audi) within 5 minutes of the connection the low battery warning came on... then car battery was flat! literally flat when he tried to start it.
luckily for me he had jump leads. however for a 2 year old car I was pretty surprised. nothing else was on and I do also recall when I set up my dash cam 2 months ago ( usb connection) I also got the warning and turned engine off...didn't think anything of it.
the VCDS bloke said it's strange as he can be connected for unto an hour on cars and he literally had it on 5 mins enough to do the mirror dip.
he checked the voltage and it flickered from 13.9-14.1 unsure what this means - however I took note.
also he wiped a code when first connected to the car which said -short circuit.
I have only had the car 2 months and had 2 issues which have happened- however not enough for me to take it to Audi to rectify.
- radio still playing and screen still up when key is out of ignition.
- passenger electric mirror stays in when drivers folds out.- both happened once.
any advice or recommendations?
