Something draining the battery on a 1992 VW Caravelle T4.

Asked by Rune Sep 09, 2010 at 12:04 PM about the Volkswagen Caravelle

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

We have 1992 VW Caravelle 2,5 L petrol. Something is draining the battery, we don't know what it is. But there is a sound from the enginge compartment. It sounds like it could be a pump or something, we have checked out if if could be a fan, but have ruled it out. Does anyone know what could be wrong? This "malfunction" drains the batery in a little under 3 weeks. We first noticed this noice in march.

Have checked, it's not the speakers. The sound comes from the enginge compartment, not the cabin. It is a humming sound, and it feels like the radiator is vibrating. The engine was turned off 2 hours ago, the engine and coolant is still warm.

Hi Your problem probably lies with The aux electric water pump. Disconnect it temporarily and see If your problem stops /,mike.
