DEAD BATTERY AFTER 4-5 DAYS ON MY RS4 2007

Post by mickeystewart » Sun Aug 07, 2011 8:55 pm

I Have a RS4 2007, i went on Holiday for 1 week and parked my car in the airport carpark, when we came back the battery was completely dead.

Bump started the car and has been fine since but if left for more than 4 days then the battery goes flat.

I have no idea what could be draining the battery, any ideas of common faults for this?


Thanks

I could leave mine for 3 weeks so I'd suggest a battery, cheaper than 1hr of Audi diagnostics!

maybe a tracker or something draining the batt? maybe just a dead battery. i left mine for 2 weeks at the airport and it was fine. but my last car would go flat in under a week, this was due to the aftermarket stereo tho i think.

Get a decent new battery. I.e. Varta
