Hi all, having some issues with my mk3 not starting lately, now its had a new battery and alternator in the last 2 months and after not using it for 48 hours seems to have run flat? nothing was left on in the car to drain therefore im a bit miffed as to whats caused this? anyone else had a similar issue, thanks as always.

Remove the neg terminal on your battery and connect a mm set to amps 2-10amp scale will do between terminal and battery. If you get a reading especially if its over say 0.5 amps then something is draining your battery. If not your starter may be worn putting an unreasonable load on your battery.

Thanks Roger, will have a go at this and see what the deal is.
