Hi

Wondering if anyone has experience battery drain on this year of leon?

My car is suffering with this issue and initially I replaced the original battery but after 3 day the car was dead again.

Alternator is charging at 14.4v so it's good.

I have now tested the battery drain and it's pulling 2.03 amp with everything off. I have removed fuses one at a time and isolated three of them to account for a total of 1.65 amp draw, they are as follows.

Fuse 8 "radio" is taking 1.3amp is this normal?
Fuse 6 " instrument panel/stering wheel" is taking 0.20amp is this normal?
Fuse 12 "electronic control unit" is taking 0.2amp is this normal?

If I remove all three fuses it's still drawing 0.41 amp is this still too high.

Sorry for all the questions but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Chris
