right, this is doing my head in
my wifes mk2 golf 1.6 driver has the oddest problem
its started to drain its battery from full charge to completly dead in an hour.
ive cleaned up all the earths i can find checked all the fuses , relays and all the electrics are switched off when the ignitions off and the bloody things still draining.
the battery was brand new and when it did the first time, two days ago my motor factors replaced with another brand new battery which was fully charged.
down it went again, i put my multimeter on and watched the charge flow out of it like water.

anyone got any ideas, cos i am stumped

sounds like it could be a duff alternator charge your battery again disconect the plug behind the alternator check with your multi meter again to see if your loosing charge

cheers impstop ill give it a whirl, it was charging at 13.5 volts while it was running but i didnt realise it could drain back thru.

While you've got the meter connected and showing the discharge, take out the fuses one by one, should show what's draining it.
