Hi there, I'm having a bit of a strange problem with my Leon S 1M 2002.
I came back from holiday to find a dead battery, which I have now replaced considering it was already a pretty old battery.
After I put a new battery in, all the dashboard lights start flashing and emit a beeping sound. However this only happens when the car is completely turned off, as soon as I turn on the ignition or start the car they go away.
I did remove the whole battery compartment to check the earth and other cables near it for water or poor connection. The main one that connects to the negative terminal cable looks fine, although the two near it look quite rusty, but then again it was all fine before the battery change. Is there any more earth cables I should check?
