battery drain

Our 2017 204 T6 Caravelle has battery drain issues, it’s been in the garage for a week with various tests and components removed/replaced to find the source but they have given up and said I need to find an electrician that specialises in such things. They thought they had slowed the drain by...

Hello, My T6.1 starter battery shows as low (with a warning to drive the vehicle) after being at a campsite for ~4 nights. However, I can leave it parked outside the house for a few weeks & have no battery issue. I’ve checked that there are no internal lights on in the cab (doors etc), but...

HI, I have a problem with battery drain on my T6.1 that the VW garage says is normal. I have a dashcam which is constantly powered and it seems to be draining the battery after around 2-3 days of being unused. I had the same dashcam in my Audi previously and it was never an issue so why should...

I seem to have a battery drain on my 2016 T6 150 highline as it struggles or fails to start after about 6-7 of not being used. Firstly I believed it to be the battery, so had a brand new AGM battery installed and coded to the van but again after 6-7 days I’m getting the same issue. It appears to...

Hi all - looking for some help please. 2018 2.0 TDCI T6 - Leave the van for a few days and the battery is duff. VW have already changed the battery under warranty so its not a dead battery. Something is causing a drain. What is the best way to see what is causing the problem? Can you speed it...

Does anyone have a picture of the inside roof panel of a factory LWB Kombi that shows exactly where the two original interior lights are in the roof? My van had LED spotlights installed when I purchased it that aren't connected in any way to the standard interior lighting circuit. I cannot find...

Hi, I'm at a loss, I've had a new starter and leisure battery installed in the past year and have a B2B Victron Smart Charger, which should be set-up correctly, but I've left my van for a week to find that the starter battery is down to 5 volts. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what I...

I have a factory fitted AGM battery on my T6.1 and I've noticed recently that the volts are dropping by up to 0.2V per day. My set up is a 75 amp AGM leisure battery with Redarc DC-DC (to bypass the smart alternator) and PU 170w solar panel, a feed for my Sergent with isolation switch, direct...

Hi, I've been having various problems with my starter battery over the past year and am not sure what to do next. The 2016 van was converted and a VSR was installed by the chap who did the conversion, which I've come to realise isn't suitable for a van with a Euro 6 engine. I replaced the...

Hi, I have a 2017 T6 with a factory fit leisure battery under the passenger seat and I recently wired up a combined USB, 12V socket and volt meter with a switch to the rear cabin area. I connected this directly to the leisure battery with an inline fuse (both positive and negative were direct...
