UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Still snoop around on here now and again but don't post often enough really

Anyway the car has been going fine up until just recently, Wednesday morning went to start it and the battery was a flat as a pancake Nothing left on overnight and was working the day before just fine, very strange. I managed to jump start it and get it down to the local VW Stealership. It's been there since Wednesday, went down this morning to pick it up after they couldn't find anything wrong with it and guess what...? It didn't start again lol! Epic fail Apparently the battery was drained and charged twice too!

Left the car there and hopefully should have it back Mon / Tues if they can find the route cause of the problem. Anyone else heard of such troubles with a 6R? - Cheers!

Have you added a different stereo or wired in some dash cameras? They're the only things that I can think of that would drain the battery?

Nope neither, car is completley standard

The fun continues, a week without a car as of tomorrow

To top matters off the car was sat @ the stealership for 3 days, couldn't find anything wrong so off I went Saturday morning to pick it up. Keys handed over and just as I was about to drive off...you guessed it didn't start again Epic fail on their part, courtesy car for this weekend *if* it isn't resolved by then.

Basically something is draining the battery but they can't find out what it is
