[QUOTE="alxy, post: 486097, member: 2947"] Bro hakim and r37720, Yes, high battery discharge might be caused by the IBS cable, although I did not get any alarms. But could also be caused by faulty parts like the TCU, which fails to put certain components to sleep (hence, draining the battery all the time). Other symptoms I faced were my glovebox CD changer like always swapping CDs and does not remember where I stopped (e.g. CD 4, Track 6, 2:23mins). It just resets back to CD 1, Track 1 when car is restarted. Worse thing is that your battery does not get charged properly. In my case, I was in a way lucky as I just managed to drive it to MSpeed before battery totally drained! Otherwise Mr Tow Truck operator would have a happier CNY :) By the way, I changed the battery first (Delkor DIN90 RM650) as I didn't want to change too many items unnecessarily. Also, because the IBS cable was RM1000! IN the end, had to change. But hopefully this will give me a trouble free ride over the CNY. That's most important. [/QUOTE]
