Title: MFD2 Version C draining car battery
Post by: Msc1 on April 28, 2012, 02:15:25 pm

Hi,

I have recently installed a MFD2 (Version C), and it draining my car battery at a alarming rate, i.e. a jump start is requried if the car is left alone 6hrs or so. Is there any solution on how I can solve this problem.

Ps - its a Golf Mk5 2004 S FSI

Thanks Guys

if it is an MFD2 the drain will be due to an electrical issue and not the CAN gateway
