This is not an Audi car, it's my wife Volvo S60. The car's at the dealer into its 3rd replaced battery, and they're at a loss where the problem lies. When the car's hooked to the computer, they don't see any leakage anywhere, but left overnight it drains the battery completely. And by completely I mean no interior lights, instrument cluster lights, etc. Total darkness!

Based on how it goes, I'll request a new car from Volvo (it's 7 months' old).

I know it's not an Audi issue, but I wanted to hear of any experiences like this...

This is different: they just add batteries to the car, and the car eats them up in a day!!!
