Moonpig01 0 Posted December 20, 2008 Hi I bought a 205 GTi a few weeks ago with a broken radio Turns out the radio wasn't broken just disconnected when I plugged it all in everything worked fine or so I thought after about 15mins of driving the lights started getting dimmmer and the battery went flat, disconected the radio, bump started the car and all is well. So any advice on what the problem could be? May Thanks JBJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May Thanks JBJ sounds pretty much like the stereo is f***ed, but to flatten a battery when the car is being driven is news to me. i have seen radios that drain batterys when cars are parked overnight but not like in your circumstances. have you tried a different stereo?

Last Legend 0 Posted December 21, 2008 I'd give the previous owner a call they obviously know about it failing that you'll need a good auto electrician. Long shot but I'd check the earth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moonpig01 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Thanks for the replys, I was thinking its probably a faulty earth, I tried another stereo and exactly the same result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
