BATTERY DRAIN
hi.....have been tryin today to get to the bottom of my battery drain problem,after 1 week without use im finding my battery flat when i come to use the car.i've checked the usual....condition of battery and if the alternator is outputting correct voltage....i even phoned the tracker installer to get his input but assures me it won't be the tracker as it won't pull enough amps to cause the problem,its a my05 wrx......has anyone had simular problem or knows of any common faults?.........also anyone know the specified cca of battery required.

Tracker not going into sleep mode can well be the problem. Had the same on mine. They don't admit to it until you mention that you know a bit about Impreza's and know of lots of people with similiar problems. Only problem is they want to charge £120+ VAT to come and look at!!

The RAC Trackstar on mine was supposed to go into sleep mode after 3 hours. When I quizzed them about it they admitted it is a known fault. They were still unwilling to do it FOC. I eventually gave up with them after it packed up sending signals at all. They still wanted to charge £120+ VAT + Parts to put it right.
