Post by: BIGDOG on 12 January 2010, 12:36:11

I have a T reg 2.5 TD and the battery has not got enough power to start the car if it has not been used within 3-4 days. I wounder if there is a power drain from somewhere and if so can I disconnect /sut down any thing?

The correct battery is really important on the 2.5 wheisel. Do you know what amp and how old the battery is?


Oh and welcome to the forum :)

There have been a number of people reporting that the rechargeable batteries in the power sounder have failed and caused a continuous current drain.

In a few cases they have caught fire  :o

It's part of the alarm system and is located on the offside front wing under the scuttle.It is a small black box that has got rechargeable battteries in it that can fail with time then draw excess current from your battery. There is a 'how to' in the maintenance guide.
