a4 b6 parasitic draw

[Sternzy]

If I am reading this meter correctly I'm getting 98.6ma draw and I should be getting 20-50ma max? I tried all the fuses and it stays between 90-100 the whole time. I'm looking to confirm that it's out of range and maybe any ideas on the next steps I should take.

It go's dead overnight most of the time and when it doesn't, it's weak. Yet, it charges right up no problem on a battery charger and will work fine all day. It has a brand new valeo alternator, because the pulley went bad on the original. I don't want to replace the battery yet if I can help it so as not burn out a new one before the draw issue is fixed.

0.1 Amp isn't enough to drain a car battery overnight. Either the current is going much higher when you aren't looking, or the battery is bad.

Thanks for the info. I guess it's time to get the battery after all to rule it out.

Just got a new battery, so we'll see how it go's. Thinking I should get the vag com out and clear everything at the same time and see what comes back over the next week.

i believe audis spec anything above 0.3ma is suspect.Possible you have .1a draw with a spike from time to time.Thats normally the case!You can use this chart to try narrow down your draw and where its coming from.If you have one.Just do a voltage drop across each fuse with the vehicle completely off and asleep.I normally latch the door lock and wait 20minutes to make sure all modules are in bed!!.
