Hi everyone, does anyone within the ESOC know of a good auto-electrical guy, something is draining my battery over time. I.e. if the car is not used for around 3 days the battery is nearly flat. The battery was replaced 2 months ago with a Bosch one, I have checked the alternator output/charge rate which is ok. Had a general look round, boot light etc. but cannot see anything obvious, if car is used daily or left a day or so all is ok.

Car is a 2002 Bugeye WRX.

Any ideas or recommendations?

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul

Sorry i can't make a suggestion on a good auto spark guy

Can only suggest that it might be the alarm that's causing your drain.

I had this on my old RS Turbo , The clifford concept 600 would drain the battery flat in a couple of days !!

Only pinned it down to that , as i disconnected the alarm and the the battery didn't drain !

As it was still under warranty i got it replaced by the company that fitted it.

Have you tried posting under the electrical section on SN

Other than that , you could buy a solar battery charger that plugs into the cig lighter socket .

I know it's not a permant fix

But it will hopefully stop the disappointment of going to start the the scoob in the morning and nothing happening.

Best of luck mate

If you have a tracker then the batteries fail over time, then its constantly charging and drains the battery.

Hi Ron, thanks for the reply, alarm seems ok, thought I would post here first, but may try the electrical section if all else fails.

Spec'C'57, thanks for the contact will give it a call.

JDM_Stig, yes it does have a tracker, had not thought of that one, thanks.
