Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Help! Ignition is staying on! :(

Do you think that could stop the drain? Hopefully that is the only thing that would be drawing power with the ignition left on? No, not changed anything since I bough the car about 6 months ago now, it has been fine up to recently. So not sure what's changed, probably a loose connection or something...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] New Bat Needed (how to deal with ever increasing power demands?)

Ok, fair enough that makes sense now, thanks for the explanation. So basically the alternator puts out enough juice, its just not all getting to the bat so is not as efficient as it could be with thicker wires yeah? Its handy you being Exeter based too, maybe if your around we could meet up sometime...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] New Bat Needed (how to deal with ever increasing power demands?)

Ok, thanks, so just running better cable will solve my problems? I would have thought you would need a bigger alternator and battery too though? Say if current setup generates x when driving but the draw is x + 50, then with bigger cables or not, your still into a negative surely? Also, I have had t...
