TWO batteries in 18 months but NOT starting? Mystery Vauxhall/Opel Zafira power drain solved!

Join us where we dive deep into an intriguing automotive mystery: a diesel Vauxhall/Opel Zafira with a persistent battery draining issue. Despite being a low-mileage vehicle, our client faces a recurring problem - a flat battery after short journeys. With two battery replacements within 18 months, the issue persists, leaving us with a puzzling scenario to unravel.

In this detailed walkthrough, we explore my diagnostic process in my workshop, covering every step from testing the battery to examining the alternator's performance. You'll see firsthand how I navigate through various checks, including a parasitic draw test and a direct voltage reading from the alternator.

Discover the unexpected twists in our investigation as we encounter voltage discrepancies, potential faulty connections, and the challenge of identifying the real culprit behind the battery's rapid depletion.

Whether you're an car enthusiast, a professional mechanic, or just curious about car maintenance, this video provides valuable insights into the complexities of vehicle start/charge systems. Watch as we combine traditional methods with modern technology like thermal cameras to reach a conclusive diagnosis.
