problem #2

Oct 112017

V50 R 2.5t

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

Older battery, possibly original, died overnight. Towed to service center(local euro tech) replaced battery. Then reoccurred weeks later. Charged with plug-in type charger, less than 5 minutes, started right up. Good for some time, then again. Same process to jump. Back to shop overnight. No issues found, though suspected alarm system above headliner in back (wagon). Now again 3. 10. 18. Time to trade in. Difficult to troubleshoot.

I have replaced the car battery at least 3 times. If I left the car un-driven for only 2 days, my battery drains. I was not sure what the problem was but thought I had a bad battery. Until now, somebody suing Volvo for Sat radio drains it. OK, I guess someone figures that and answer my questions. The most recent dead battery was last week when I left my car for two days not driving.
