Re: Outside air temperature indicator
I have similar problem, except that the indicated temperature is much lower than actual, e.g. -18 when it's +4. Tried changing the sensor; no change. Then, a few days ago, it started to read a sensible temperature again. But now it's back to -22, or -- Intermittent cable fault? Where do I look for t...

Re: Washer fluid not running through
I've just has this same experience - no water from front washer jets, but rear one still working. Reservoir full, washer motor whirring, but no jet (well, a tiny dribble...) I discovered a kind of manifold device that was fed by a tube (presumably from the pump) with outlets to the two front jets. P...

Re: Draining battery
Another update, taking duncho's comments on board: confirm the 2.5A unlocked quiescent current does indeed drop to 150mA or so after a while and then to 10 to 20mA after quarter of an hour or thereabouts. Another theory bites the dust! Let's see how the new battery behaves... Thanks, duncho, for you...

Re: Draining battery
Update on the figures of my previous reply: when I went back to check the quiescent drain current of the locked vehicle it had dropped to 0.01 to 0.02A: a much better figure! I unlocked the car and the current went back up to about 2.5A. I then locked it back up and the current dropped to 0.3A for a...

Re: Draining battery
I think I may have discovered why my QQ battery drains. The system takes a lot more current (about 3A) when the car is unlocked compared to when it is locked (about 0.3A). Even with the 80Ah battery that is fitted, 3A will drain it in a little over day. (0.3A is still quite a hefty standby current, ...
