Vw Polo 2011 - Strange battery drain #

Posted by Ed Parry on January 7, 2014, 10:14 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2011

Has anyone ever experienced this model of car being woken up by RF/radio interference?

It has a battery drain problem but only ever if its parked at the owners house, if its parked at her sons place it can stand for weeks and restart no problem.
i checked parasitic drain at 20ma after 10 mins so im pretty sure this isnt a problem, however one of her neighbours is some kind of amateur radio geek.

Any thoughts gents?

Ed

I have heard about problems like this with other makes and wireless door bells have caused this sort of problem so I would think a radio ham could cause this.

This model (6R) has issues with the BSI relating to radios & battery drain - software update is the cure if yours is in the range affected
