Hi Gareth 

thanks again great advice . My headache is when it’s locked up it goes flat and won’t start without a jump . When unlocked with handbrake on it drains to 10% but will start . Tonight I’m gonna disconnect the battery before I go to bed as the car will be sitting at 100% . Re connect in the morning and see the result . The battery in the car at the moment is a YBX 3000 12v 95Ah 850A , same came out . 
thanks again 👍🏻

Ok last night I checked the car before I went to bed , battery power read 100% . Car unlocked , nothing on . Get into the car 9am this morning the battery power reads 10% 😡. Could this have anything to do with the electronic handbrake as that was the only thing on . 

Maybe, but when it hits 0% after the car has been locked , it won’t start . All the locking system has also been checked , immobiliser etc etc . 
Thanks for your help 👍🏻

Hi Gareth 

when you press car on the console you have a list of settings , you go down to battery level and it reads 0% to 100% . In the morning when I go into these settings mine reads 10% . 

Hi Gareth 

yes the car starts at 10% , but I have been advised that a battery that size shouldn’t start at that level . 

Hi all 

My car is an audi A6 2.ltr tdi 54 plate . Having had a problem for the last 3 months when I get into my car in the morning and finding it at sometimes 10% or totally flat I decided to put it into my local garage for a week of full testing to try and find the fault . I have used these guys for years and they do my whole families cars so fully trust them . The lads having ran full diagnostics etc decided to change the battery under warranty . Having had the car for a week, as i said, they ran every test they could to try and find the fault. They couldn't find a fault with anything after trying and testing everything imaginable. Now having had the car back I find even leaving the car unlocked through the night the battery reads 10% in the morning . Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks 

Thanks mate 👍🏻

Ok thank you will look into it 

many thanks happy new year when it comes

Hi all 

what you think keep the rings black or bring the chrome back , it's the peel coat paint so not difficult . 

Ok what you think , keep the rings black or get the chrome back . It's peel coat Matt black so easy to come off .
