Hi guys I’m after some help locating my battery drain issue. Do I need more than just vcds to track it down I have a new battery on the way and I don’t want to fit it and damage the new battery. I will do a full scan and put the results up as well.

You'll need to use proper old fashioned fault finding to work out what is draining the battery - download the WDs from erwin then check the volt drop across fuses to determine which circuit is drawing the current.

One that stands out as having a much higher voltage drop than the others.
